I'm not even sure my old handle survvived. We had a change of platform,IIRC, and i never managed to re-register properly, but i was smallbluethingummy about an aeon ago. I dropped that on other boards cos nobody recognised the reference to to the Suzanne Vega song, and they thought it meant something rude. Anyway, i didn't try too hard to re-register cos somebody (i won't name) had been spreading all kinds of shit around about me, and Deano told me (privately) that guy was still active on AV. Nobody believed a word he was saying, but still, i figured it best if we stay right out of each other's orbit.

Prior to that I have a few very good memories, especially  of RL meetings.  Is Deano still running it? I'd be amazed if he turned into a nazi, though.

I went to a few meetups too. Deano certainly wasn't a Nazi, it was this one woman who was Nazi-like in her moderating...really had it in for me.

What you mention...wasn't the Omega (I think?) vs RobertN thing, was it? Or ascan. I can't say I remember your username.

What is an OG?

i refuse to say "nope , nope, nope" until you finally hit on the right thing  :LOL:. I think it's very likely completely dead and buried now, thank goodness.   But PM me, if you like  re, the one woman.   I specialise in Nazi-hunting    :green:. That's how come I got my special title on the left.

I think that the main prob with Aspie Village and the  like is that  they try too hard to be a "safe environment" which means the bullying  gets shuttled into the background, where it does a lot more harm .  And the mods can turn into bullies, ofc. However, Deano has been a victim of behind-the-scenes bullying himself. He'd be a good guy to talk to about it.

I agree about the passive aggressive bullying on AV. The so-called "safe environment" excluded a bunch of members. I remember I wasn't the only one picked on, but she really made a point of it at the end, so I kinda told her to f*** off and got myself banned.

Good for you!  :congrats: :party: :crowd:

I'd say something like it's fine to rip the piss outta me, but for the last couple of years or so I've been fragile. Yet I don't want to be excluded and thought of, "She can give it but can't take it". Urgh, this sucks. I'm glad you've all behaved and have been nice to me so far.

Sometimes people argue here, but the piss taking is generally in jest.  :thumbup:

I'm quite certain you're the one my mother warned me about.  :zoinks:

In all honesty you haven't been bad or anything, I've seen a lot worse. Well, the forum somethingawful.com and here in the early days was pretty bad. I'm quite surprised. Is it cos I'm new?

I admit though, the humour here does sometimes make me giggle.

  I think it's less aggressive here overall than it used to be.  I lurked here for months before joining
   in 2010, because some of the posters intimidated me.  Maybe we've just mellowed with age.  :laugh:
