got to love the drama. however I think Aspie Momma is good at surviving, and having a strong backbone. running a webforum is sure to have its ups and downs, so this situation is mere practice. I think she is handling it well

I know If I was running a website and this happened, I wouldn't have any hair left on my head. I'd simply pull it out

 :hair:

Sorry Richard. I disagree. I have no idea what skills,experience, talents or whatever that she brings to the table as an Admin BUT I can tell you that she is going through some serious IRL hassles at present. The fact she is sending and fighting online bullshit and not turning into a complete bitch or basket case says some about her mental toughness and tenacity.

It's one of those occasions probably ok cutting some slack

Again how she is or isn't as an Admin I have nothing and no opinon. There are at lot of members at her site that is a feather in their cap. More than that I am guessing based on what I know of her personality on AFF

:) 

I am going to hold onto those words, from both of you, for a while.  That was very kind. 

I have become very Spock-like IRL as of late.  I was numb, then angry, then even more numb than before.  That is where I am now.  I am not crying over major catastrophes.  I am not panicking over deadlines and big decisions.  It is like I've turned off the faucet of emotions in a desperate attempt at self preservation. 

It sounds lovely not to have to feel all those awful things, but in my experience with this coping strategy the emotions nearly always surface at some point and, because they were intense enough to necessitate such a coping strategy, they are usually extreme.  I sometimes have an out-of-the-blue delayed complete meltdown once tensions are relieved and I can let my guard down.  The faucet of emotions is turned back on, and it will be backed up with reactions to everything. 

I am a ticking time bomb.  Here's hoping it is a dud.

I hope you are ok. I wish I could turn off my emotions. I wanna be a Spock.

Thanks.  I'm fine ATM.  :)

I wish I could selectively turn off emotions.  That way I could feel the good ones while blocking out the bad ones. 

It isn't really a choice, they just wont come out.  *tilts head and smacks one ear*  Nope.  Nothing.  Not even a sigh or an angry crinkled eyebrow.  I'm stuck in stony-faced analytic hermit mode.   :M  I am not completely withdrawn, but I am not really present in my interactions if that makes sense. 

I'm sure I'll be back to my old hypersensitive self any moment now.  :autism:

Taming the emotions is indeed a wild animal. I personally use my religion to try and help
However Aspie Momma just some e advice here. a lot of drama on webstes, I actually think this is why alex plank seems so unresponcive to his forums concerns. he just shuts down because he doesn't want to deal with the drama. he seems pretty social elsewhere and we all have witnessed the nelsons, implosion. its bound to happen, some dramatic thing.

Just don't let it get to you. and keep a level head about it, I'm sure you will be fine but one thing you can expect especially if your website grows is there will be drama. just don't let the drama eat you alive,  :zombiefuck:

  I agree that the writing style is not like AspieMomma's, it is barely coherent and the post makes little sense to me.   ???
maybe it's me then...muwahahaha.

Lol

I've been able to tame everything but anger. Its too powerful to enslave.

So true. It is the most powerful of the 'negative' emotions.

YEah, but I've figured out how to channel it to do positive things. Its just that people often get their pussies hurt from the heat of my raging quest for justice.

I dunno who that is on WP but it's fucking odd how they try to engage people in mindless banter in that particular thread.

I had no idea this drama even happened.

Try what again? Seriously you quoted a post of mine from two and a half years ago and want me to take by up my conversation and in context? I don't think so.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.
