Hi everyone. :fuckyeahdance: I chose this smiley because I liked the expression.
-
Welcome back.
-
Hello, PSP. Join in the drama. :thumbup:
-
Good to see you again, PSP. :)
-
Hi PSP,
Who told you to post again?
And are you always that obedient?
Good to see you back. :hyke:
-
:santa:
-
Jack told me to.
I'm not normally obedient, but the board's lack of penguin was pointed out to me and I thought I should rectify that.
-
:laugh:
I approve of Jacks action, and of your response.

I love that smiley, it has attitude! :laugh: How have you been?

I think we need a penguin smiley too! Also, Jack has good judgment. :thumbup:

Yes you should join or that's a paddlin'

Here's a picture of a penguin chick:

That looks just like her except different. :viking:

Here's a link (http://www.emotasia.com/tag/penguin-emoticons/) to penguin emoticons. They all seem to be the cuddly type.

The smiley's expression reminds me of the drawings at hyperboleandahalf.
I've been alright. Nothing in my life has changed except I got moderatised at WP.
If any of the recent bannings come over here whining about how we done them wrong: we didn't; it was because they couldn't stop being complete douchebags.

Yeah, the hairstyle is not quite right.

Yes, bring forth the whiny bannee's from WP. I have no idea who's getting banned and who isn't these days but bring them anyway.
-
Someone told me off for being sarcastic and got banned as I slept. :lol1:
-
Now, the sarcasm part I find difficult to believe :P
-
lol. :P
The funny thing is I actually toned down the sarcasm; what I wanted to post would have been a fair bit more biting.

Moderators can make very active members. Whether they come from WP or AFF.

I wouldn't insult PSP by associating her with a certain wobbly moderator. :P
We'll have to be sure that PSP doesn't see us planning our secret WP trolling runs. :ninja: :orly:

Am I still banned? I never actually found out what I was banned.
Oh I was told that I was difficult and pushed the boundaries and was nor affording the moderators respect and that I was not prepared to accept I was wrong and apologise. But not actually what I did that was ban worth or how long my ban was for.

You are difficult and stubborn. It's what I like about you.
You're not a whiny douchebag, though.

I know all those traits are 100% true. The make for a pain in the arse member. Is that why I am banned but did I do something ban worthy. Am I still disliked by the mod team. Is the ban indefinite. Just interested

So do I know you?
Glad you joined us either way.
Your avie looks almost exactly like something I drew when I was stoned about forty something years ago. I was channeling Escher or some shit. And I had not yet experienced computer fractal imagery, at the time.

Then, someone explain why we are not shooting internet harpoons at the spy bastard!!
Oh, I get it, his puny ass is too small to worry about, right?
-
PSP is alright. She has been a member here a while and was a long term member at WP but has only just been made a mod. I rather like to think we have a spy in WP rather than visa versa ;)
Besides i have gone soft in my middle age.
-
She is one of the first aspie spazzes I met @ WP when I joined there in 2008 and the only one I still stay in touch with from back then.

And I'm not spying; most of the trolling from here tends to be quite amusing. I can appreciate a nicely done piece of trolling; and the other mods normally pick up sockpuppets from here pretty quickly.

Actually thought it was pretty cool that you stuck around here before, since you joined due to drama and could have easily walked away after it was over. Good to see you back on your own terms.

Withholding judgement, but so far, so good.

Me too. I'm still upset.

Not true. We never troll. I'll ban your puny ass.

I heard that, too, but it is a lie. MOST of them are not naked.

I assume they're guessing, or the trolls are posting that they're from here, and PSP isn't seeing those posts. Or they're reading PMs. :dunno:

According to the ban logs, it's been a while since anyone was banned for "being a banned sockpuppet who lives at I2".
If you don't use a proxy they can just check your IP address.

I don't know if I've been active at the same time as you have.
I made the picture when I banned myself from the internet for a week to force myself to do other things.
Am I still banned? I never actually found out what I was banned.

I don't know what you did; it was ages ago with completely different moderators. There's still a fairly close watch to make sure you don't come back. I don't dislike you but I can't speak for the others. I'm pretty sure the ban is permanent.
Maybe your sockpuppets would stop getting banned if the first thing they did was something other than arguing against how the site is run. :P

Yeah, I actually met up with him when he came over to Australia.
Actually thought it was pretty cool that you stuck around here before, since you joined due to drama and could have easily walked away after it was over. Good to see you back on your own terms.
Thanks. After the drama calmed down a little I figured out that most of the people here are pretty cool.

Well I am glad to have you posting again and someone sensible moderating there.
I think that the site rally needs an Alexectonomy . The place may help more than a little removal of Alex but it would be a Hell of a start

I've noticed the other moderators having to explain things very slowly and clearly to Alex.

You are making it sound like that is all I do when I make a new account there, which is not entirely true. :P
In my defence, if they are going to treat their members (any of them) with contempt or unfairly, then when those members take "them" to task they really ought to put up their hand and say "Fair call" and cop it sweet. I call it constructive criticism. It may may them look like jackasses for the mistakes they made, but if the mistakes are correct, then all good.
I think that occasionally they get people in a moderation or Administrative capacity that treat members they disagree or do not like as a master/serf relationship or employer/employee. Forums are not that kind of dynamic. Whee they do behave like this and get pulled up on it, they ought to be humble and learn rather than ban/delete or hide threads/recreate the narrative. That was something Amy in AFF did and it is not healthy.
I like to think this is all benevolent. In truth I probably really just do it because it is fun.
As far as I can make out, they see me as a person they got rid of probably incorrectly and who every time he came back, had a way of making the forum and Alex and specific Mods Like Sinsboldly, Quatermass and Lau look like arseholes, without necessarily breaking the rules. Where they censored and warned and banned. They stepped outside of what they ought to do to get rid of me and then I kept coming back and rubbed their faces in it all over and laughed at them. So they made the ban permanent.
You know that I actually had them try to strike up a deal with me?
If I came back and admitted the ban was deserved and apologised publicly and remained on probation for a year without any red flags for my behaviour then I could be reviewed and stay?
Cute huh? Guess what my answer was?
-
Alex himself offered me a similar deal.
-
Then I am in good company knocking him back
-
It only took me a few hundred posts to be banned. :angel:
-
My first ban did not take me long but my successive bans were quicker
-
Don't forget about I2, Penguin.

You smooth-talker you.

I haven't; I've just been having a busier-than-usual 4 weeks.
In other news, the next person that tries to discuss my feelings, or that suggests that affirmations will help with autistic impairments, is getting punched in the throat then boiled alive.

Not entirely; but a fair few of your reappearances do seem to be for the purpose of criticising the way things are run.
You make valid criticisms, but they're always going to be jumped on straight away if they're the first thing you do on a new account. Plus your posting style is very distinctive, so it's not hard to know that it's you.

I think that the risk of abuse is a danger with any sort of power.
You get even more danger with autistic people; with our tendency to be rigid in our thinking and unable to just admit when we're wrong.

You know, you could be right there.
I remember that before you got banned you did come across as kind of an abrasive jerk, but I was surprising at the ban because I didn't think you'd done anything ban-worthy.
You know that I actually had them try to strike up a deal with me?

I am still pissed off at this person.
I can tell people to "think positive" and completely dismiss any real difficulties they may be having as being a result of "negative beliefs". I can haz psychologist job now plz?

In other news, I got told off by The_Face_Of_Boo over at WP for "talking down to people", and all I can say is 'OH MY GOD, THE IRONY".

That was something Amy in AFF did and it is not healthy.
I think that the risk of abuse is a danger with any sort of power.
You get even more danger with autistic people; with our tendency to be rigid in our thinking and unable to just admit when we're wrong.
As far as I can make out, they see me as a person they got rid of probably incorrectly and who every time he came back, had a way of making the forum and Alex and specific Mods Like Sinsboldly, Quatermass and Lau look like arseholes, without necessarily breaking the rules. Where they censored and warned and banned. They stepped outside of what they ought to do to get rid of me and then I kept coming back and rubbed their faces in it all over and laughed at them. So they made the ban permanent.
You know, you could be right there.
I remember that before you got banned you did come across as kind of an abrasive jerk, but I was surprising at the ban because I didn't think you'd done anything ban-worthy.
You know that I actually had them try to strike up a deal with me?
If I came back and admitted the ban was deserved and apologised publicly and remained on probation for a year without any red flags for my behaviour then I could be reviewed and stay?
Cute huh? Guess what my answer was?
"Yes, I am sorry and will be a good boy in future"?
Nearly...it was "Haha...you're joking, right" Then I launched into an encyclopaedic length mental meandering, if memory serves.

Absent most of the time. He drops in every now and then to wave at us from his chariot. The most recent time was to do a poll on which new site layout people liked the best. Completely ignoring all the software bugs and so forth that WP has, of course.

I have the opposite problem in real life to you it seems. I am given no slack and at times I need it. I am not going to whine but I am in a very aspie-inapropriate job and it is high in stress and change. Sometimes I need a bit of pressure off or help or more slack and I do not get it. Nor can I ask for it as I was hired without them aware of my condition (I do not think I would have got the job if they knew).
-
My problem isn't so much that I'm given too much slack as that people keep attributing autistic symptoms to emotional problems.
Then they think they've helped me because they've given me a retarded deep-breathing exercise or something like that.

My, oh my, how terribly patronising. And do you feel all better now, sweetie. The deep breathing made you head and tummy feel better? ;)
Yup punch them in the throat.

That's exactly the advice that one of my friends gave. I appointed him as my new psychologist on the spot.

I remember someone grabbing my arm to help me cross the road after I told them I am autistic. It is hard to know the right people to tell!

Start being overly clear in response, speaking slowly and explaining everything. When they ask what you are doing (which they are bound to do if you keep doing this), tell them you thought they were both stupid and ignorant.

Kind of the same for me, but I am busted. Quite a few up there know about me.
I might lose my job if I was not one of the very best at doing it and completing tasks. What makes me more successful than most is that I "care" about doing my best and my best is pretty damn good.

Just today I had my yearly assessment. I had no idea that it was due (actually five months late, which I mentioned just before I signed things).
I do not know if I have told you how much animosity I hold for my managers for them having forced me to give up my full time job.
(LARGE story, better at another time)
Today I got a really great assessment which leads to a raise in pay. It is already done. Today was more about reporting the results of my yearly assessment
I found several openings from which to interject my fury. I only took one. I noticed that "my boss" was assessing me as if I had not gone from full time to part time, fully expecting me to do the same job I did as a fulltimer, but restricted to part time work.
I mentioned that this conversation will be a very SHORT one, because we have been over and over this same shit many times. "You seem to forget that I AM NOW A PART TIME WORKER and all this shit you try to make me take responsibility for NOW falls to THE FULL TIMER, (YOUR FUCKING ROOM MATE, BTW) not to ME!!. I only work part time, now!
I said that I will continue to train him (our new full timer - who is cool and I like him and I want him to succeed, but I have no reason to take his job on anymore.) to the best of HIS abilities, but do not make me responsible for his failures nor accredited for his successes. He is on his own to sink or swim. "I will train him, but to get him up to MY speed in a few months is NOT going to happen. I have been doing this same job for over six years and I am still learning, as YOU are."
Surely, you understand that taking my job away from me, in favor one infinitely less competent, diminishes my investment in this company, right?

Agreed. I hate it when job definitions change but the expectations aren't affected.
Foolishly, I took on additional responsibilities at work as a Scrum master (think of the concept as being the keeper of the faith for development methodology for programmers, a team leader of sorts). My thinking was to take control over the development processes because the developers we have are too inexperienced and young to handle any of it. I thought, again foolishly, that I would only invest a few hours a week for this.
What happened was that I am now expected to improve those processes, in reality the net results from said developers, while still doing everything I did before, for the same hours and the same pay.
I am stupid.

I had a teacher try to teach me what humor was by keeping me in at lunch hour to watch the Three Stooges. I was thirteen. It didn't work. I was kinda disgusted and baffled but she wouldn't stand for it, so I politely watched the rest of what she showed me, trying to figure it out. :asthing:
