Raptor, I think it is fairly obvious that you neither have AS, nor understand those who do. In case you had not noticed, WrongPlanet is a place for those of us who do have it to, among other things, discuss unacceptable behaviour like bullying, and devising means to control and (hopefully) eliminate such behaviour. You, on the other hand, are condoning it. What's just as bad, if not worse, is the fact that you are shrugging off the effects such behaviour and dismissing the natural consequences as being of no consequence. You could not be more wrong.
Now, I know that having AS is not a prerequisite to being a contributor here at WP, but do at least try to make an effort to understand that your comments (the ones that I have seen so far, anyway) are, well... just ignorant and stupid. That's the easiest way to put it. Us 'Aspies', as you no doubt do not know, tend to be very direct and to the point, to the point of (in my case anyway) being rude, but I am sure that since you don't think that feelings are important anyway, you won't be offended, so I am not expecting an indignant reply to this post.
The insensitive macho thing is part of the "conservative" package, along with gun loving and military worship. It seems people with AS are not 100% immune to the "acting like a douche makes me cool" thing.
