| That is pretty much what she said by her suggestion that those who arent pro-military are anti-freedom and should go somewhere else if we dont respect the role of the military. That is precisely what she was implying. It is a common tactic used to bully people into agreeing with them on things such... |

| It could indeed be a great help to society. Any group--Aspie or not--which is purely dedicated towards helping improve the world we live in, with no ulterior motives, will generally do more good than harm. For sure! There is a problem with simple technological progress without accompanying societal... |

| Well your medical problems or whether your gay or not. It doesn't bother me either way. If anyone is stupid enough to join up with the armed forces they should be allowed to. Go for it Sean you have my approval. I don't quite understand why the army is being so reluctant taking you guys on i though... |

| I don't think we're any better than anyone else; I do know that I like being the way I am and would prefer not to change. I think the world needs both NT's and Aspies; neither is better or worse to be than the other, either in value to the world or possible quality of life. Yes, I don't think we're... |

| That's actually a pretty dangerous way of thinking. If you think of it like it's a superpower, that creates a sense of elitism which, historically, has rarely been a good thing. Yes, that is possible. But having a superior sense of morality and not being too kind to un earned authority, would sugge... |

| Many non-Aspie people think that Aspergers is something to be cured. But I have a different approach. What if being an Aspie is a gift ? Some have suggested that Newton and Einstein were Aspies. What if the human race's most important advances have come from Aspies? Many aspies are simply like regul... |

| Turing machines! Yummy! I remember solving problems related to them in Comp Sci. The only achievement I'm proud of in Univ was solving the bonus Turing machine question on an assignment. I obsessed with it until I finally came to an elaborate solution. I realized I must of really loved that stuff wh... |

| Strange, I don't recall having problems getting in. I was kicked for objecting over someone calling Cheesecheese a whore. But Alex said something about being sorry after I got in. That's all I recall. I guess objecting to someone else being insulted, then myself being insulted, and finally respondin... |

Bouchard,
I think you have me confused with someone else. I know that confused23
was trolling. But I don't ever recall being banned by yourself or Alex.
The only person who ever banned me was Jetson. And that was in response
to a false accusation made by drinkingt ..

| I think you're right Beebee: chat is not a safe place for Aspies to discuss. This whole thing started when Cheesecheese made a racist comment against Indian people. I objected... and of course the racists decided to defend her statement....with sean going so far as to say he would never do business ... |

| Thanks for your replies everyone. As sean demonstrated, there are resident, pro violence, chest-beating trolls forming a club in the chat. But as some of you know, a common Aspie trait is to vie for justice on social issues. I assume that having support means being able to express good Aspie traits.... |

| I am writing to express my concern that cliques and political talk in the chat room are interfering with AS related chat. In fact I am being harrassed without provocation by Quirky Carla in particular. For instance, I was kicked and banned recently. The ban has shut the forum from thousands of poten... |
