I'm feeling a little sensitive tonight.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you didn't think that I was referring to you regarding the post count discussion or anything, I wasn't, I was trying to think about it in abstract terms rather than dealing with anyone. I hope you aren't offended CockneyRebel.

I was a little upset about it. It's not what you've said. It's what the other person has said. I don't want to say her name. I'm sick of the higher functioning ones using big words. There are people who are 20 years younger than me here who seem to have more brains than I do and than they start talking politics around me, after saying something about my post count. You can read more of what I mean in the Random Truth thread.

In defence of the poster you're not naming, she was having a conversation with iamnotaparakeet about post counts, which led to the conversation turning to post-count competitions.
There was no mention of you, CR - in fact I'd say that poster made it quite clear she was not making the general claim that everyone with a high post count did it; just those few who explicitly mentioned post-count contests and the threads created for the purpose of increasing post counts.

It was very much implied by one member and come across to me as done purposely to upset Mick, as usual. I've seen this person do the same thing before.

Hmm... that makes me remember of someone that "advocates" a "cure for autism" and flames other users who are against their stances. I called "troll" on that one. Of course, I'm not going to drop names, although I am highly tempted to do so.

Anyway, let's not mind those evildoers and let's make WP a better place to be.

The quiet treatment works well on trolls. Simply warning them the first time and bringing a moderator the second time seems to be effective at removing trolls without angering oneself too much.

ADDITION:
Here I am, a moderate AS, adding yet another symptom to my diagnosis. I wish there was an AS adolescent with my special interest and level of dedication, but that would be like looking for a clone.

Unfortunately there are trolls and sock puppets here and there are a lot of people who seem to be more NT than they are AS or Autistic in their behavior. I've noticed that this place has become quite cliquish as well. I don't remember it being like this last time but it is now. I make comments and replies to some people here and they ignore me like they are above speaking to me or some such nonsense and they know who they are. Makes me think they were misdiagnosed or their just pretending to have AS or be Autistic. Their behavior speaks volumes about the kind of person they are and now that I know how they really are, I consider myself better off.

Some areas of science fascinate me Kevin but quite honestly your knowledge goes far beyond mine in that area. I'm sorry I can't talk biochemistry with you. But I still think it's cool when I hear you talk about it and it's obvious that you don't just do that to make other's feel inferior.

Oh, of course contact a moderator and they will take care of the situation alright. I know how it works. Thank you Cornflake. Funny how you never said this before in the conversation until I made a comment about something people were already talking about.

Right now it's 33 F with a wind chill, so it feels like 24 F.

So, are people talking about me?
If so, I wasn't even talking about you, CR. I'm not going to explicitly mention the people I was referring to, but they aren't very active here anymore. I apologize if I offended you with what I said, but I wasn't talking about you at all. I even said I wasn't talking about everyone with a high post count. What you say on here has content; I was talking about the people who spam with numbers and such.

No problem at all. I understand that I can be a bit sarcastic and perhaps that isn't welcomed, so I'll be sure to think a bit more before posting something now that this discussion has come up. And if anyone has a problem with what I say or needs clarifications about what I meant, I would personally prefer them to confront me privately instead of making all of these little implications and skirting around things, leaving it open for other members to misconstrue and whatnot.
As far as making other people feel stupid, I honestly don't try to do that at all. Sorry for being myself and talking the way I do.

That's okay, Jmnixon. At least we're clear.

In the meantime, we need to cool down and break the ice.

Oh man, I feel like an idiot. :lol:

I'm apologize that I've jumped to the conclusion that you were talking about me. I'm just a very sensitive person and I take a lot of things to heart. I'm sorry if I've hurt you in any way and I do realize that young people can be sarcastic. I wasn't always like my role model. I was a sarcastic 16 year old at one time as well. I guess that I've forgotten what it's like to be a teenager. If you like hugs, I have a special hug for you.
