Paladin_Cecil Appreciation Thread
Yet you bring down those you feel are lesser. If you're going to disagree with someone, use some tact and intelligence.
It's a semi-derogatory term used for those who lack a grasp on the flow of things. What you're trying to cover yourself with is "newb".

After her meltdown, I was emailed by Ashleigh. She said that WP made her realize how much her life sucked and it made her depressed. Now why is that, I wonder?
Anyway, I told her that her life didn't suck, she isn't an accident, and that God loves her the way she is now.

Karigani:
I understand and agree with your point. However, I can also see richardbenson's point as well. While Ashleigh had some genuine issues with some of the other members, it is simply wrong for her and Kain to spam a forum that many people (some of whom are also troubled) continually rely upon for support. If they had grievances, this was a very immature and inconsiderate way to vent them.
But obviously she seems like a good kid from talking to her, she probably just had a rough day, and I don't like it that she is banned. Is there a middle ground, here? For example, can the ban be only temporary?

N00b is slang for an idiot. Newb is a new person, or a newbie. Learn your terminology, yeah?
ah, young'ns. can't fault them for what they're too young to remember.

I don't think anyone on her side is going to suggest that what she and Kain did was right-- justification only reaches so far.

WP is supposed to be a support site. There's little support here. She asked for help on her life, you flame her. Talk about support. Talk about sharing the love. Talk about helping her.
You people are so quick to judge someone you really didn't know. Sure, she spammed. It's because she was fed up. Some people may call her immature, but honestly, who cares? Telling her to 'get a life' or 'see a shrink' IS NOT HELPING. Is that clear enough for you?
I'm sorry if I come off as angry... well, no, actually- really I'm not. I am angry. I am angry because Ashleigh is my best friend, and she's just so... misunderstood. She doesn't really have anyone to look out for her. She asks for help and feels like she's being threatened, almost. She tries to explain something, and tries to get her point across, but you don't seem to listen.
I'm not sticking up for her just to stick up for her because she's my friend. I'm sticking up for her because I believe that a lot of you on WP were really, really inconsiderate. And it really just gets my knickers in a twist, you know? I cannot stand rudeness without reason.
And heh, I know some of you are going to attack me on this one. Rudeness without reason?, you're going to say. What do you call her spamming up all the boards?, you're going to say. And you know what? I don't care. I don't care, 'cause it was a last resort sort of thing. Ashleigh legitimately has Asperger's, and people with Asperger's ACT DIFFERENTLY. Seeing as this is WRONG PLANET, a community for people with ASPERGER'S SYNDROME, you'd be able to UNDERSTAND THAT. The judgment is insane and disgusting and wrong. You don't know her. You. don't. know. her. You don't know where she comes from, or the life she leads, and everything else. She has a temper- don't we all? She gets depressed. It's because she's a human being, and her situation is... well, it really hurts me to see her living the way she is.
You guys just assume she's a callous jerk of some kind that goes around and back stabs people and spams up the place. It's not fair... fair is subjective, yeah, but in my humble opinion, this is just... agh, I can't even explain how annoyed and angry it makes me.
Getting to a point? I, as well as she, felt like a lot of people here needlessly attacked her and/or talked badly about her behind her back. I think she deserved to be treated better, and you guys could have been more understanding to her condition.
But you weren't, so whatever. Just thought you guys should hear an outsider's opinion. Peace.
I agree.

I agree.
And I agree with TheAPERSON about agreeing with Karigani.

Strange how that worked out isn't it?
No ban is permanent.
I am glad to see people being compassionate, but please be aware that there is really no good defense for spamming the forums. Having AS is not an excuse for such behavior, as the vast majority of the aspie members here manage to follow the rules. People who choose to behave rudely and ignore community rules will certainly receive less enthusiastic support from their peers than those who treat fellow forum members with respect. Nor should such individuals be surprised to see that the rules are not bent especially for them.
See below.
...discussion of locked topics, discussion of banned members and why they were banned and anything else that purposely causes conflict with other members.
Banned members must self-advocate by taking the initiative to email a site maintainer if they wish to have posting privileges reinstated.
