Has the admin considered ever setting a post limit before a newb can create a thread (say like a 100 post limit) so they can adjust to the forum? Seems like letting newbs create threads is asking for trouble.

Where would the fun be in that?

No worries. You're going to be just fine here.

I'm sad I didn't think of starting a "delete" thread.

I think that completely removing your post is better  -  it makes the other people in the thread look silly 

That's why one always has to quote. Always.

Perhaps you could post "delete" several times in here. That would make people curious.

Why did you delete your post?

I think it might have come across as trollish so I decided to delete it. It's the kind of thread which I'd consider creating if I was an established regular user of the forum.

Trollish is fun because it makes people talk.

I've noticed there is much trolling and narcissism on this forum. Why do so many aspies troll?

Why narcissism is a more interesting question.

I blame your narcissism on skyblue1's constant flattery.

Nice troll tactic you've got there, player. Trolling with a little malignant e-diagnosis? I'll bite.

It's not narcissism, dipshit. It's lack of theory of mind.  Narcissists actually understand other people, and use that knowledge with self-serving intent.

Autistics live in their own bubble. What the hell do you expect?

My guess is that it's an easy way to test conventions.

Lol - the question does come across trollish doesn't it? 

"Lack of theory of mind" is no excuse to justify it. According to Wikipedia, "Theory of mind (often abbreviated "ToM") is the ability to attribute mental states—beliefs, intents, desires, pretending, knowledge, etc.—to oneself and others and to understand that others have beliefs, desires, and intentions that are different from one's own." Aspies struggle in the real world when you have to apply ToM quickly, as in a live conversation. But on internet forums, when you have time to digest information, you should be able to apply it pretty well. Not all aspies come across as cunts on the net - explain that? 

If aspies miraculously became good at ToM in real life, then we'd get different personalities. This forum would probably proportionally have more narcissists and sociopaths than other aspie forums I think.

So you believe that autistics lack Theory of Mind?

So you believe that autistics lack Theory of Mind?

Good question. I accept that it is the scientific consensus. Personally, I don't feel like I lack it but I accept that I might based on my real life social interactions.
