OK.

I think that there are many people out there that are complete idiots and lack any understanding of the social difficulties that we auts face. They do not care if we misinterpret things, or can't distinguish between written satire and attacks of cruelty. They see our reactions and instead of trying to understand why we react the way we do they determine it is easier to get rid of us than to try to work with us so that we can be part of their communities. They do not see that they are being emotionally abusive and cruel to people that have no real way of defending themselves against the futile neurotypical mindset and the cruelty that such mindsets can inflict upon us. If we don't communicate honestly about our autism, then when there is an incident no one understands why, which almost always forces us to reveal the truth about our autism. Then, once they are aware of that, many think we are retards and are too much trouble to have around anyhow.

Just my thoughts on it.

Hard to say. Would have to see the dialogue from the chat rooms which prompted the bans.

But, yes, some people can take our frequent lack of understanding, etc., of some nuances of conversation as rudeness.

However, there are some autties which have been banned from some chats I'm on which damn well deserved it. So I put off my assessment until I can have more information.

I hate people who ban you just because they don't like you, even though you're not breaking the rules. That's nazi moderation in my book.
