Posts I've Made

In Topic: International Elections

12 April 2013 - 09:56 AM

I'm posting to this thread because it has become "my" thread in many ways.

 

I have Autism. It's something I've disclosed on the forum before. "Okay, that's nice" you might think.

 

What it does mean is that my brain does not work the same as your brain does.

 

I am in a program called the Aspergers Job Readiness Program. One of the things we learn is that what we do and say can be interpreted in different ways. That a good employer will give us the benefit of the doubt. 

 

I have found a job with a good employer. I start Monday.

 

 

Why am I posting here?

 

 

A few weeks ago I was accused by the admin of these forums of trolling him personally. I insisted this was not the case. He refused to answer. I contacted some of the admin's assistants, and they PMed the admin. He still refuses to answer.

 

One of the things we learn is that there are people out there who will always view you as 'defective'. That if you do something "wrong" and explain you are sorry, you did not know, you have autism and do not understand social queues, that these people will think you are either a liar, or, you are "stupid", IE, defective.

 

It seems the admin feels I am defective.

 

 

 

I've therefore decided to not return to this place. I can come here for free and be disliked by the admin, or, I can go to work with people who will give me money to be there who actually appreciate me for who I am.

 

I've chosen the latter.

It should be noted to those interested that the government of Australia is destroying itself from the inside out, and an election may happen sooner than originally planned.


In Topic: Rules VS Censorship

19 March 2013 - 10:36 AM

There seems to be an attitude from certain members who are unwilling to follow the rules, that following the rules - or worse, being asked by someone else to follow the rules - is censorship and therefore a "bad thing". 

 

I'm curious what the rules themselves say about that? As frankly, from where I sit, anyone constantly pushing that position is saying "I refuse the follow the rules" and should be asked to leave.

 

Just a reminder of the original post.


In Topic: This is Apartheid

You are typing nonsense.

 

This road is another example of Israel's apartheid policy in the occupied territories as it's for Jewish settlers only. I'm not sure why you're trying to make excuses for it.

Are arab citizens of Israel allowed to use the roads or not?


In Topic: Clarification - MLW Board Definition of Trolling

The above post contains many of the reasons I rarely post outside my "international elections" thread anymore.
