My mom hates WP

Post Reply New Topic

I didn't know it included members mothers too. Does it include anyone else?

GOOD QUESTION! I almost asked if this were REALLY that sexist! I mean most DO have fathers! Sorry Merle, I couldn't resist!

I don't know how much plainer it could be stated:

Attacking an opinion, belief or philosophy is acceptable, but attacking the person making the comments is not.

it doesn't say anything about them only being on WP.

Merle

Well it doesn't state anything about their families.

Personally, I think your mother would like me if she got to know me. I've yet to find someone who doesn't once they see who I really am; people who don't like me have always been those who don't know me, and they're just seeing me in superficial ways, rather than swimming a little deeper; I've never drowned anyone.

I think most people, when taken individually, aren't too bad; it's just that we have a propensity to focus on the negatives far more than the positives, as the negatives are usually shown less often, and they're not understood entirely as people oftentimes don't communicate adequately once said negativity clouds judgement.

My friend said the OP is silly ^_^

Either that or you are deliberately disobeying your mom. He says, "Tsk tsk"

true, it says : insinuation, ridicule and personal insults, regardless of whether direct or indirect is not allowed on WP.

Merle

Technically, I didn't do any of that! I certainly wasn't direct to the OP and the OP indicated that the mother wasn't that close. AND, like the others here, I wonder if that person really exists.

im evil? cool now i just summon my evil minions

I'm amazed that got past the moderators - "Here's a cartload of abuse, what are you gonna do about it?"

Bored now. Life's too short for getting bogged down with trolls. Moving on to a more interesting topic.

I have personally been called worse by better people.

Well I think that I act quite normal, it is not as if I stand on my head all day long. I suspect that if we had a poll that most of us are the right way up.

I think that the OP should ask her mother what exactly is so odd about the people on WP. Rather than accepting that we are a bunch of monsters and weridos, she should ask what is so werid about us.

Personally, I think the whole human race is evil and weird.

Please let her know, if you have a chance to see this, that many people here have tried their best to adjust to a whole world's completely alien standards of normalcy and decency, even when it made no sense to us. In recognizing and accepting our difference, we aren't giving ourselves permission to be "f*****g a**holes," but rather trying to figure out how to be our true selves and still be good people and successful by our own standards. There might be militants and there might be people looking for excuses, but I think most people here are just trying to find a place to be themselves and find out what that means before they get worn down by everything. We might help deconstruct "normalcy" as we know it, but it wouldn't be a bad thing if done carefully. Aspies, other people on the spectrum and indeed all others in the disabled community (and I mean that in a non-pejorative way) have spent their entire lives coming to terms with an entire world that's not like them and doesn't always want them. Is it too much to ask for that majority and individuals therein such as your mom to return the favor to only a few people that she may or may not ever meet?

My dad says that about the internet in general. He thinks all people who hang out online are weirdos and have something wrong with them, and that they should be talking to 'real life' people. Luckily I don't live with him, and so he can't forbid me to use the internet - although I'm sure he'd love to.

At the end of the day, your parents believe what they believe, and it's up to you to think for yourself (as I presume you are, since you posted this after being forbidden to use this site!). I live my life regardless of my dad's opinions, and certainly regardless of the opinions of some stranger's mother.
