I was never intimidated by I2, but I had heard about it before I joined. According to others, it was amoral cesspool where the only thing that mattered was whether or not you could back up your opinion. This made perfect sense to me. Later, another member of AFF posted a link, and I decided to join. I2 does have a fearsome reputation, and some members here have their own reputations from events in AFF's history, such as Rossco's arguments with Amy, and Flardox's rampage/crusade against ED (I recently learned who Flardox is on I2, and I was amazed at the change :laugh:). I understand if sensitive aspies are afraid of I2.

Well, I think being sensitive is a form of being selfish. :orly:

Can see how a lurker might misunderstand some jokes around here as not being jokes. Anyway, yes, am a timid mouse and quite intimidated by the menace that is humanity, including you lot.

But then you make these dry remarks that are so funny!  :laugh:

We understand them; we just don't think they're funny.

Nice to know you actually love and admire us pistol-packing, Bible-thumping, fattyfat Americans. I had a feeling you did.  :zoinks:

When you are a noob, the place looks a bit like a train wreck.  :trainwreck:



I think that I used that very phrase on my introduction brawl thread.

I don't understand why this site has a bad reputation. Almost everybody's been really nice to me, and I haven't even seen much antagonism between others.

I can only assume that it's because of the lack of moderation on the site. This seems to be the only aspie forum where you're allowed to tell somebody exactly what you think of them. I suppose sometimes the person that is under attack often feels intimidated.

I don't think that's the reason. The straight women and gay guy have been really nice to me as well.

Maybe it's the intro page, wrath of the community and all.

can we do a new intro page? I think it's time it was updated. also it makes us look too much like we;re just an anti-wp site. I think we should make one that focuses on the less serious shootin-the-shit side, rather than the arguing side. I mean still making it clear that it's more free spech, unmoderated etc. But the intro page now (from what I remember) makes it sound more like a battleground, when in reality it's more like a pub full of horny and/or bored spazzes
