Yeah, it's me. So Ducky told me this board is almost un-moderated. So it's like 4chan for aspie?
Here i can take a piss on someone without fearing the banhammer? I like tearing a new one on stupid people, but many forum dont like it too much, too many over-sensitive cry babies...
Anyway time for me to lurk for a new avatar...

Hey Vampslord. Yes and no. Glad to have you here. Yeah i have seen you post and I think you aren't a delicate flower and that is a good thing. As to the way you are looking at this site...meh. Here is probably a better way to what this site is. It is another online community. Mostly comprised of adult aspies and auties. It is a site that does not readily censor swear words, ban at the drop of a hat, doesn't ascribe to a ND viewpoint or whatever. It doesn't encourage and actively "discourages" whining.
You are right there is a level of moderation that is at best loose to non-existent.
Fighting stupid people and taking the piss out of people? Yup.
It is a bit more than just a place to coe in and fight but yeah that can be fun. Many of us do it and it can be fun to watch others doing it. There is a bit more to the place than that.
But come in, settle in and see how you go. Good luck and welcome aboard.

Hi vl. :welcome:
-
So you're an AFFfag?
-
Yeah, it's me.
Never heard of you, but welcome anyway. After reading your intro, an expression comes to mind
Bull in a china shop
Good luck!
-
:welcome: Vampslord!
I remember your name from AFF, have fun with all the smilies here!
After 10 posts you will see more of the site, get to it! :hamsterwheel:

Bull in a China Shop? That is you Bodie. Watch out for Bad-ass Bodie. I will have to show you my guide soon to help introduce you to the nicer and nastier ones here and set you right :thumbup:
-
Thx.
Bull in a china shop doesnt quite cut it.
Yes i'm afffag :P And since they are hard on ban i hold my punch, bit my lips, twist my tongue quite a lot.
Provocking people almost cause me orgasm. I do it IRL just for the kick. I cant stand stupid people who havent tought what they believe trough. (is it how you spell that? Tought/trough). I even defend stuff I dont agree with just to fuck with people head. Love playing devil advocate just to screw around. One time i defend racism against a hard-core liberal women who hate racist so much, she wanted to eradicate racist people (I know, I know...). I manage to prove her she was racist too, and that if she wanted to be honest she should just accept it and embrass the racist in her.

That's not true.
...Most of the time. :dunno:
-
Yes i think many of us are delicate, just like china in a china shop.
Then, some are more delicate little flower's. :angel:
Please be nice to the German Girl we have here. She is particularly sensitive.
Oh, and a trough is a container for animal feed or water.

Since Bodie has already answered your spelling question, may I offer a few more suggestions:
doesn't
personal pronoun that is capitalized, the other personal pronouns aren't
causes, not cause
bit is past tense and the other verbs in the sentence are present
Provoking
thought
Oh, fuck it you're helpless and hopeless. (just kidding)
Welcome and hold on to your knickers. It's going to be a Hell of a ride.

I would give a shit what you think... only it requires too much effort. (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y116/iamjooish/Smilies/th_058.gif)

You wouldn't have posted if you hadn't cared.

He definitely hit a nerve.
-
:yawn:
-
And again, he posts to show that he doesn't care.
-
And will again right after this post :)
Cupcake needs WP or AFF. Some place that wants to foster his unique flower of a personality. Some place that will allow him to pretend to be a grown-up without actually acting like one.

He is looking so very hard for a rule to violate :dunno:
-
I think I'd have to try a lot harder to break those rules!
-
Just for anyone tuning in, Bruce has now changed his video to a girl who looks 15 and not 12
Perhaps, if you search real hard, you might find a woman?
-
I think I'd have to try a lot harder to break those rules!
I think that was fucking close. That was just a kid in the first one. That was so out of order.

Brucie, be a dear and stop posting stuff that pisses me off.
-
Missed the 12-year-old. :grrr:
-
Missed the 12-year-old. :grrr:
I doubt Brucie even realised. He posts so fast, i assume he just searched for some 'rape' gif to give his mate a stiffy. He took it down pretty quick which is a good job.
Maybe should change his title from post slut, to 'lock up your daughter's' :zoinks:

he doesnt deserve the post slut title
doubt very seriously that he would go near a woman IRL....would probably stalk one though

:lol1: This struck me as very funny. It is fucked up that our little Princess Knownothing is that dim but it is still funny. I can just imagine his mummy giving him helpful tips when he was in high school - "Remember to wipe your bum Brucie" - "Don't touch the hot stove Brucie" - it must have been trying for her.

Well then why are you plussing them for it?

Because it's very amusing?

Not buying it. :P

Because it's very amusing?
Lets see.
You`ve got your thumb in your mouth and your fist up your ass.
Now, switch hands........

What do you think my 'reason' is, then, Py? :angel: :laugh:

::)
The day you two start showing some real personality that's not arselicking and throwing your toys around like whiny toddlers is the day you'll actually make it here.
-
K. But I still don't actually care about "making it" :P
-
Shame. You had a bit of potential.
-
.......... in what area, slave?
-
In cutting the stupid BDSM shit and just hanging out. We are your AFF detox plan.
-
I'm fucking crushed, Pyre.
-
I know. That's why you need all the help you can get.
-
I think you need to try a bit harder, slave :pwned1:

Although that sounds a lot like the whiny toddler!

It looks like a well stated post to me. Of course I am not the one stupid enough to get kicked out of church either.
-
A very well stated post, IMO. It's not rocket science but it seems to be beyond the two of them.
-
You know, that is what bothers me here. Unlike someone like Meadow, I don't think you are manipulative or do this on purpose. I think you just don't see the patterns.
I'm not sure what to do about that. A thread like that "do you want me to leave" one is all about perception, as is Bodie's funny stuff thread. I'm not sure how to make you see the difference between what you do and what others do.
For myself,at least, the 'personality' is also all about perceptions; I hardly see myself the way described above & thus it does, quickly, become a lot more complicated than it's being presented as being. No, it's not rocket science, where I'm sure I can find out as much as I wanted to know about it with google, it's a lot more complicated that tnat!
-
How do you see yourself?
-
If that is a question for me, I've really got little idea how to answer it, Py?
-
You said you hardly see yourself in the way described above.
So I asked how you do see yourself.
-
Need help? well no matter how hard i try i can't reword it, or make it any simpler! Do you see yourself as a young black American girl, or are you a middle aged man with a family facing a divorce? do you think of yourself as deeply religious with a high moral code, or do you just look at yourself and think cool, suave, sophisticated, debonair ? or perhaps you see yourself as shy and reserved with a burning desire to learn floristry? maybe a laugh a minute jack the lad with a host of rib tickling corkers up your sleeve? You must have some idea of how you see yourself...there is no wrong answer!
-
You said you hardly see yourself in the way described above.
So I asked how you do see yourself.
as pure awesome, embodied. The thing is... I can take the heat. I don't think bruce can.

K. But I still don't actually care about "making it" :P
Yes you do. You post here all day long. You care very much about "making it" here.
-

(See! I don't hotlinking to post memes!)
Seriously :M
You are desperate for attention. It's why you are here. It's why you do everything that you do. It is not only dark and cold in Daddy's basement, but also lonely. You can only pretend for so long that you have anything approaching a life outside these forums, and these forums can't stand you, so you find this place where rumor has it you "can't be banned" so you figure you will set down roots here and be as big an asshole as you possibly can be, because you want to test these boundaries before really allowing yourself to become emotionally tied to yet another forum that might eventually kick you out. Problem with this scenario is that by the time you realize that you actually won't be banned you have made everybody hate you and you can no longer get what you want out of the place.
You aren't the first to do this. You aren't even the first this month. Those of us who have been around a while see this repeated over and over again. It's boring unless we take the opportunity for target practice.
You won't fit in here for the same reasons you didn't fit in at the other whiny emo sites. For the same reasons you don't fit in at a job, or in school, or at the grocery store, or anywhere out in polite society. It's because you are damaged. It's because you have nothing to offer. It's because you are worthless, add nothing to those you interact with and learn nothing from your experiences. A lot of aspies spend a lifetime sucking at the teat, living with Mommy and Daddy until they die, and spending all their free time "socializing" behind an anonymous screen name on a "special" board made just for them. It's not the worst thing in the world I suppose. Not everyone contributes to the world. Not everyone should.
-
lol, srsly?
I could have a social life, if I wanted one. Problem is... they feel over-rated to me.

Is that what your Mommy told you?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are not as special as she has been saying all this time. She sounds like a good woman, trying to inflate her son's ego as she does. It's what parent's do, god bless em. I have 2 kids myself, and I will always tell them they are the greatest people ever. But I do know that eventually they will interact with the real world and they will receive real opinions from real people.
You can't have a social life. Even if Mommy introduced you to her bingo club or her church group they would soon realize what a defective jackass she raised. It's best if you don't embarrass her like that. Especially after all she has been doing for you. (making your bed, washing your clothes, cutting the crusts off your sandwiches)

Ouch.

Ha, thanks. I meant in relation to 'whiny'; I won't see expressing some feelings as that, they always have elaborate & plausible seeming explanations for themselves... For a lot of what you cover, there's objective facts; I am white/ caucausian & I am single, I do believe in God but 'religious' can mean all sorts of things, so.... The rest is how others see me; it's all very well me being amused by certain things but nobody else is - does that count for 'humor'?

[Do you have any goals, or ambitions?
Hmm, not really any clear ones. Hopefully, if I can sort stuff out with the local 'support' services, they can help me get back into work. That'll do for now, though!
-
That is a realistic goal :thumbup:
-
Thanks! The main difficulty, ironically, is dealing with the 'support' services but I think I'm finally getting somewhere with them.

Yeah, it's me. So Ducky told me this board is almost un-moderated. So it's like 4chan for aspie?

No. But i aspire to it!
