Do you think that's funny, Diaper Girl?



Oh yes. Now she has two dip-shits on her back. I don't care what happens to her. Go Graelwyn.
And I felt protective of both these poor defenceless creatures once.

Funnily enough Spokane, nothing's going to happen to me.

No one made you to go out and protect me. It was you who decided.

What were you protective over Graelwyn for? No one made you protect her either.

On the whole, I consider WP to be a more dangerous environment for a vulnerable Aspie than any other board out there, including this one.

I think it's messed up. I keep hearing lot of people on there don't have AS and I started to agree back in April or so. They have PDD-NOS.

Eclair- you may want to start reposting in posterity when Grael posts a flame.

My question to those of you who saw aspoid's thread:  Does anyone NOT assume spiral is Grael?

NOT whom I assumed. Possible though - I guess.

Who DID you assume?
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

This, of course, is a thread ender. Dunc's Law stands.

I'd like to know who's there at WP to protect underage kids from adults trying to exploit them under the pretense of "love".

Oh come on. The internet is filled with people
like this. I get the feeling that most of the
teens are pretty well able to handle themselves.

On the whole, I consider WP to be a more dangerous environment for a vulnerable Aspie than any other board out there, including this one.

Probably true. For a lot of reasons - but the
biggest is size. But, anywhere with PM's is
a danger. Or with a means to exchange IM
addresses.

The problem with WP is that it is a high-profile site claiming to provide a supportive environment for Aspies. I don't exactly care for Flagg but I think that what Graelwyn is doing is just wrong. Just as wrong as Lit's little affair with that 15-yo.

I'm a parent of a preteen son. I know just how vulnerable he would be.

Of course, but that's not the point. WP claims to provide a supportive environment but doesn't. Quite the contrary, it seems. How can you trust a mod that thinks it's OK to be involved with an underaged member to protect other members from potential paedophiles?

Probably a BIG difference between pre-teen and 15, and certainly 17.
Look, we're talking about an age where sex is desired and likely to happen.
It almost seems as though you're more disturbed by the idea of someone
lovingly introducing a younger person to sex, than you are to two dumb
kids rushing through, and maybe fucking up their lives.

We're talking about a mod in a country where the
age of consent is less than the person's age. We're
talking about plans to meet, which are postponed
until college. Grael's not the problem.

So, what about me? Well, I'm unwilling to break laws,
so again, I pretty much laid it on the line, that it would
have to wait until the person was legal.

IF even half of what I have heard is true, than I am in complete agreement.

I agree too.
But in Grelwyns country the legal age of consent is 16, and most would think this is too high, so IMO she has nothing to answer for.

However, i do wonder what would be said if i became involved with a 17yo female poster on there.
You don't need to spend much time there to see that some are vulnerable, and i often wonder if a mod should have a 'word in their ear', or at least keep an eye on them. There does not seem to be much self-policing going on. Maybe some are not as naive as they appear, i don't know.
