I know it took a second...
« on: September 10, 2006, 10:58:29 PM »
I was just in WP chat and a few people mentioned this place was here, hadn't even heard about it but there's a lot of people I miss from WP and that who kinda left after that major bout of drama earlier this year. Well, for anyone who doesn't know me I'm 26 and from Cleveland OH. I just graduated with a BBA with a major in Accounting, trying to find work hopefully more in the government sector, and as for my hobbies - HUGE drum & bass head and will probably be making the stuff as well till I'm 40. Other than that I was dx'd PDD-NOS with a real high possibility of AS back when I was 11, had about 8 hellish years on antipsychotics and SSRI's, and thanks to some friends was able to get myself out of that trap and pull a complete u-turn in my life. Something else though as well, I'm very atypical - effected the same ways as most people in terms of having AS wrench up social interaction a bit but at the same time I score pretty heavily in the NT range on every aspie test :/, met a few other people like that on other forums but its really rare and it still leaves me with a lot of identity questions and trying to figure out just where the heck I fit in sometimes.

Well, glad to be here and glad to see that everyone didn't just drop off the face of the earth. Respect  ;)

there was a time that everyone was posting links on WP about this place, but alex started to ban everybody and remove the links.
sorry you didn't hear of us sooner, we have had good times.  hope you stick aroung for the next round of craziness.
it happens roughly every 40 days.  something controversial happens, and everybodies anus' begin to clench up.

hey, feel free to do almost anything (legal) here.  there is no defined TOS.
Misunderstood.

Yeah, welcome. Don't believe what they say. We're harmless. ;D

We're harmless as long as you don't do anything to piss us off.  Just because being an asshole is allowed doesnt mean you'll get many friends with it.(Or maybe it will if you do it right.)
And as always, these are simply my worthless opinions.

I doubt being an asshole will work. It's been tried, again and again.

Nobody has done it right.  In order to be an asshole and have it work you need to know which side to pick from conflict to conflict, and when to ignore the conflict.  Also when to refrain from being an asshole at all.
