I am disappointed.
By reacting this way instead of engaging Bloke, Bloke comes out on top, especially in light of the fact that he had so much support after the ban. I haven't been there much lately, but I would probably have showed my support as well. I doubt he did anything truly ban-worthy.
By closing the site they are cutting off the only source of meaningful human contact for some. Sure, it is their site, but it means a lot to a lot of people. Some degree of responsibility is taken on because of this whether they like it or not.
After what happened recently with the shuffling if mods/admins this is too much. It was handled very poorly. I don't understand why Genesis could not have been kept on as mod. It seems a but controlling, and this doesn't help that perception.
Now everyone is going to walk on eggshells again, lest they land on the receiving end of a witch hunt style banning spree.
As much as I love I2, AFF is different. It tends to serve the needs of younger people and those who are DXed as adults. It is smaller than WP, so it is easier to connect with others.
Larry and I were just talking about the idea if putting something together for younger Autists. Maybe this is the kick in the ass we need.
*sighs*
I hope it isn't how it seems...
