This thread could be had up on trades descriptions as people are too chicken to reply to the more 'searching'
style of post

I will be replying to all questions as I have half an ounce of Integrity

What was it like when you lost your virginity?

Ok, good question

It was scary and painful but I wanted to get it over with so persevered

I wondered what all the fuss was about first time due to the discomfort but
started getting into it by the 2nd

It was in a car and with a person who already had a gf so not very romantic at all

what are your beliefs concerning the meaning of existence and the creation of the universe?

'what are your beliefs concerning the meaning of existence and the creation of the universe?'

I think we make our own meaning, there isn't an abstract 'meaning' already there

I was sent to Sunday School as a child so have been to a certain extent 'brainwashed' into a belief in God,
which is very hard to just shrug off.  It's hard to know whether I would have believed in God if I hadn't been bought
up in a 'Christian' culture

I have a mix and match attitude to creation - logically I know it didnt happen as in the Bible but I still like to belive
in the presence of 'another'/God as it's a comfroting thought to have in the background ie that we're not totally
alone

I think that religion, while it has caused/does cause a lot of bloodshed, has also given people a lot of comfort and
'guidelines' on how to live their lives

I think many people take their 'meaning' of existence off the peg so to speak ie they just take on board the ideas of their surrounding culture and absorb them, sponge-like, never questioning

I hate doing that - I like to find thigns out for myself and pick and choose what I want to alie myself with

I can't stand the way people latch onto an idea/concept/fashion purely because everyone else is doing it - that's the main reason for NOT doing it in my book!

I like a number of the philosophers' ideas - Schopenhauer is a favourite and Nietszche - only the concepts though,
not any kind of fanatical abuse of power etc

I have a pretty grim view of the human race - the nice people are an aberration in my opinion; a freak of nature

We post explicitly hardcore naked pictures of ourselves on this site.   Have you taken yours already and when will you be posting them?

Piss Off!

I am totally against stuff like that!

I'm interested in ideas and information, not naked bodies - that's so dull!

A naked body should only be seen prior to f****** it, not in photo format!
- that's just for pervs who can't get any!

Now you're asking!

Since I split with my bf and have come off my anti-depressants, I seem to be at it every other night!

Contrary to what has been posted elsewhere on this board, I'd say it's preferable to sex in a lot of ways
in terms of satisfaction

My ex used to say i was being selfish wanting to do it during foreplay etc - he used to hold my arms down to stop me!

This used to infuriate me!

Are you going to post a pic of yourself so that I can decide if you're worth fucking, and maybe masturbate to if you're not too ugly?

I have a unique style of postign that is guaranteed to wind up all but the most mellow of posters

I have been honing it for years and this site appears to be my very Nemesis!

My ex is my ex because we were falling out too much (no unsurprisingly)

And it was MY decision to split, I wasnt dumped for being 'crap in bed' or other
equally grossly unimaginative reasons

Oh Peter you've already LOST any battle you want to have with me - surrender NOW cos I'm gonna
take your 'personality' (snigger) apart bit by sorry bit and you'll be weeping in a heap on the floor by the time I've finished with ya!

I did not intend to imply that your ex dumped you.  I was curious about your reason for dumping him, because you say you will answer anything, unlike the rest of us.  "Falling out too much" is a cop-out answer which means nothing.

Peter is very nice-looking.  You come across like you are nursing a grudge against him, perhaps because he reminds you of someone you used to know.

Do you know any of us?  If not, how can you bear such a grudge?

I am just curious as much as anything to see what the 'nastier' type of

Don't you find it gets kind of tireing having to keep up some pretentious, NT-like

Because you came here with no introduction and started attacking members as though you actually knew something about them.  Why do you think I'm nasty?  Have you been lurking?  Did someone tell you that I was nasty?  You're being too aggressive too quickly, and have no grievance against us other than just plain not liking us.  It all stinks of sockpuppetry.

look like some kind of supermodel from what I can work out

Not really; just people who attract more attention than other, and various groupings of people who get along with each other, more or less.  You'd have a hard time classifying anyone as being in or out of any specific clique, since we all just do our own things as it suits us.

That's a shame. Btw, if you'd come without ascan's jaundiced view of Intensity ringing in your ears and posted with an open mind, you'd have got a far different reception - 'playground' is a bloody good word for this place, as thats all most of us do. And your point about a lot of people having a hard shell but soft inside is true of a lot of folk - as some have learned about themselves here. Part of this place's mission when we started out was to give people a means of learning to toughen up by sharpening their claws on each other - and 'kindness' comes form the unlikeliest sources at times. If its not your scene thats fair enough, but I've found its surprising what comes out of folk once they open up here (mind you, some of it should probably be put back  :laugh:)

Well surely it's how it's received not how it's sent?

If a person is hardened to abuse they'd think nothing of it, but a more sensitive person
would be offended

Also, in order to be a clique you need an 'outcrowd' but if these people all leave you will then
need to start ostracising actual clique members - it's just very unhealthy

there is no deliberate formation of cliques here - people do seem to have revolving attachments to other posters, but there is no in-group/out-group split. as for sensitive, thats whast the 'grace' period is for, if you like, and the rookie refuge - if someone feels their skin is too thin to be able to enjoy the banter, that way they get to see what we're about without getting their feathers singed. intensity won't suit everyone, but then it was never meant to.  :-\

this is the most accurate assessment i have read to date.  esme, you are mistaken about the purpose of this place.  it seems that AS people are social retards who have a difficult time buying into standard conventions of socialization.  social ineptness seems to me, IMHO, the common bond that we all share,( given that it seems to be a spectrum, where no defined criteria can label any one person with AS).
given that, if you will, this place is a place for all the social outcasts WITH AS, who couldn't quite make it on the other boards for their strict social rules.
Actually, i view this board, more than the rest of them out there, as a more AS friendly board than any, to date.

I'll agree with you there MCjagger - but I just find it really odd that people with AS should suddenly start
apeing the worst NT behaviour once they start forming social groups, even on a discussion board
- surely we're better than that?!

Is NT behaviour inseparable from social behaviour ie one and the same thing?

I don't think the behaviour you are talking about is NT behaviour though, I think its how people in general behave.  I don't believe that people with AS are superior to the rest of society and so above certain types of behaviour.   I think you are always going to get people taking the piss or being more forceful in their arguments with others online simply because its so far removed from real life- people have a web persona and a lot of the time its hard to get past this and see the real person behind it, so people behave differently than they would in a real life situation.  Alsobecause of the limited range of ways of communicating online people can also read messages differently-  i.e. see a light-hearted joke as a nasty attack.

this is a perfect example.
i am not sure if any two people have gotten as frustrated with each other as PI and myself.  we have argued bitterly and not seen eye to eye several times.
but, i am not sure if there is another member of this board that i respect more.  

it may seem like bullying.  but what we are really doing is sharing ideas.  and sometimes ramming them down each others throats.

esme, you say that you are too sensitive for this board.  well that would have to be a judgement that you make for yourself.  
but let me state my own personal experience:
once again i will use Purposeful Insanity.  no one has made me feel more insecure about myself than she has.  i don't know why.  others have definately gotten the better of me (everybody but peagai, actually ;)), but i am always interested whenever she makes a post.  even more interested when she challenges me.  even more so when she makes me look like a jerk.
why?
because i learn about myself that way.  and as i side benefit i learn about others as well.  i get out from under my theory of mind issues, and see the worlds views from anothers eyes.
I would not learn a thing if i lived my life under comfortable surroundings.  a place where i preferred to have kind people coddle my sorry arse.  a place where people tell me what i want to hear and do not challenge me with all they have.  a place that is censored and people must act under certain rules.

my phrase of the day is: Fuck That Shit!
i want to learn, i want to experience what others see.  and i want the truth.

I can't agree. Some of the most genuine, warm, generous of spirit, kind people I know, both IRL and online, are NT. Some of the biggest arseholes are aspies.

No I have to admit you're pretty funny and witty but I can't specify what makes
your speech American, just the use of certain words and phrases I suppose

If i'm online and a (British) Asian person comes on IM I can tell that too

You're not ultra American anyway

i prefer to think of myself as ultra out there.

btw- i read you had a complaint about american bias on other boards.  well i am pleased to announce that (except for specific brittish AS boards) that we have the highest percentage of UK posters than any other board.  if anything, i would say that this board is UK bias.
matter of fact i spell ass, Arse and favorite, favourite and shit, shite and color colour, thanks to the rediculously large UK influence on this board.

also, two admins are from the UK, 2 from america.  our developer/moderator is from the UK, and we have a mediator who is from america.  we hold elections every three months.  the only permanant title holders are Queen Omega (UK) administrator, and Duncvis (UK) developer/techie/ fat twat bully :D .  also, i forgot, duncvis is a card carrying member of the aspie elite (tm).

little victim ..sure sounds like me....but I got enough to get  you outta bed anyway!   I'm not even that autistic - I'm officially a borderline case!     Which means I am NT enough to lord over the likes of you forever!   the best thing you can do peegai is learn from me and my NT ways.  Maybe if you pay enough attention one day you wil attain NT status too.   You are a difficult case but I will try my best.   

anyway, if pussy made me brave, why has it taken so long to kick in?  I first had sex at age 17 and I have not been brave at all since then.  I have been very timid because I did not embrace my NT self.

That site is scary!

Nessa

Still scared? And do you think you would have been as scared if you had come here with honest intentions?

Ascan. Ah yes. He who can not be soiled by the thoughts of americans. Especially if they're female  ::). Robert would get a hell of a lot more respect if he didn't talk behind our backs. That is the epitome of high school behavior, and evidently no matter how much people age they still do it. I guess being straightforward with others is easier said than done.

This is hilarious, absolutely hilarious. I have heard it all now. Do you seriously think that after all the shit I have endured on here at the hands of some of you, that I would have any qualms about "going behind your backs" as you put it? Dishonour breeds dishonour. Mistrust breeds mistrust. Unkindness breeds unkindness.

Sorry suckers, but if you give out shit, you get shit back.. ::)

RobertN, i just don't see it.

yes, you had an issue with PI a very long time ago.  yet that situation was resolved.  since that time you have had seperate issues with peagai and duncvis, but no gang bullying.
then you come here and defend flo (who asked for what he got) and made all sorts of unilateral accusations about several people at once.
when you attack several people at once you can expect them all to form an alliance against you in defense of their own actions.  this is the only time that you have recieved gang bullying.  but it has been by your own request that you got it.  if thats what you mean by when you say you get what you give.
look robertN, i fully support your right to your opinion.  i also support others rights as well.  you cannot make accusations against people and expect them to see the light, your light.  people have their own POV.
My POV is that i see some of your points as being valid.  yet i see some other of your points as being a little shortsided.  i think that bullying happens here, and it happens everywhere.  don't blame intensity for having a corner on the bullying market.  the same thing happened to you on WP.  surely you must see a connection.  the same thing happened to you in school.  surely you can see the connection.  it has nothing to do with AS, it has everything to do with your inability to see where others are coming from.  you need to accept others see things differently.

RobertN, please do not read this as a hateful or snide post.  i really am concerned for you and am just trying to show you the possibilities.  i really see a great man in you and i do not want you to live your life with the pain you feel today.  i like you.

Robert, you're the rabid one here.  When PI made a comment about your constant slobbering over the women, you didn't accept it as self-evident truth or debate it with her; you savaged her and then went for her husband too, and still bear grudges against them both to this day.  During the Omega pics fiasco, you kept it going long after everyone who was actually involved had decided to forget about it, and now you demonise HG at every oppertunity.  If you weren't such a slobbering, drooling, demented Don Quixote all the time, taking on every injustice that you spot and battling the opponents of your beloved Dulcinea del Toboso, people would give you a lot less flak, especially since they're the people you humerously (to them, at least) try to verbally assault on a regular basis.

Actually Mcjagger i do agree with that (i stick to what i said in my post in QCs ask thread) however i believe he/she already made his/her mind up from the moment he/she joined and it wouldnt have really mattered how nice, welcoming etc we were.

I keep saying he/she as i personally didnt know weither to take his/her personal information he/she chose to share as being honest or not due to the reasons etc behind him/her joining, the associates and his/her possible objectives/game.
So took everything with a pinch of salt.

But yes hopefully he/she will come back, i dont give a fuck what he/she thinks of me but i do think its a little unfair judging everyone else based on bitterness or grudges certain friends have with other people here. However thats life.

This may be an arena, but I am not a gladiator. Nor am I here for people like Lucifer's entertainment. So long...

Well I wasn't going to comment on this since I'd assumed you'd already left, but since I saw you logged in this morning maybe I misunderstood the 'so long' comment.  How you can make of this what you will Robert, but my intentions are positive (its up to you whether or not you read them that way) and I'm speaking from experience.  Basically, it seems to me that you've gotten yourself in a frame of mind where you read every commment made to you on here in a negative light, its easily done since all you have to go on is text on screen- no tone of voice, no body language,etc.  I agree that recently you've faced some confrontation but I agree with McJ  that you asked for it by slagging off several people at once-you must realise that those people have the right to answer the accusations you levelled against them, just as you have the right to make them.

I didn't read any hint of McJ patronising you in his post, but since you obviously did ask yourself this question- if someone you considered to be a friend made that post what would you have thought their intentions were then?  In other words, would you have read it to be patronising?   

People make piss-taking comments to each other on here all the time, but it seems to me that for a while you've taken the ones made to you incredibly seriously.  You seem to think that certain members hold some kind of grudge against you and I think it colours how you react to their posts- I've been in situations like that in the past and it took me a long time to realise that most people don't take the stuff that goes on on a message board seriously and whilst they may make nasty comments it doesn't necessarily mean that they hate me or that they are bullying me.  For most people message boards are just a form of entertainment and they don't think that anyone might be hurt by their comments- and really, most of the time, there is no need for anyone to be hurt.  In fact, some of the comments you have made could be considered to be hurtful if people took things as seriously as you seem to do (for example, the times you've told people they should get a job, not being able to hold down a job because of the stresses it places on you is disheartening enough without having someone throw it back at you as an insult).


Now its up to you to decide whether or not you can lighten up and take the piss taking in the nature it is intended.  And its up to you to decide where you spend your online time, but please stop making yourself out to be a victim of the villains of intensity because it just isn't true.  Whilst this might seem harsh I can see that you're putting yourself though unnecessary pain and I think that if you even consider what I've said it might just lessen this in the future.

Well I only got diagnosed at 37, after being referred to Occuaptional Health for advice re. anger/stress management (lol)

I got referred to a private Psychiatrist (courtesy of the tax payer as working for local council at the time  :laugh:)
who agreed with my vague suggestion of AS

He sent me to his colleague - a Child & Adolescent Neuro-Psychiatrist, who diagnosed me after discussion, a test and talking
to my parents as well

So I appear to be a fully paid up member

Nessa

As you know, in the UK unless you are 'significantly impaired', its damn near impossible to get a clinical diagnosis. Personally I'm nowhere near borderline judging from my assessment, and I've never felt 'normal'. I can't hold down a job for long despite getting a degree, and have difficulty keeping friendships going IRL - and my sensory issues drive me batshit.

Despite this, I don't appear ready for sainthood, I have my flaws, like all humans do - even other aspies.

It was probably because you're not from the UK or Ireland. It's specifically mentioned in their TOS.

Niiiiiice.

Whats wrong with that?   Its just so we can have one site which helps British aspies with their issues and things like benefits , housing , employment issues ,in the uk ,  considering that all the other sites are overwhelmingly  American.  Do you find that offensive?

I think it's OK for it just to be British etc as well

It just gets too large and anonymous when it's for everyone
and I think there is also a language barrier between us and America
- a lot of what I read on predominantly American sites just goes over my head
- I can't relate to it

Of course there's an easy way round it - you just pretend to be English and hope
your 'Americanisms' or references to Robert, Ascan etc don't give you away lol

Not offensive just annoying. I go to a lot of different sites and the ones that are exclusive to only a few countries miss out on information. On international sites people from other countries give advice about medicines or therapy that are unknown in others.

The secret "in-crowd" of Aspies, according to Ascan. If you have the time, you can read more about it just about everywhere, from WP to OTS to your Aspie Village. He was a member here but deleted his posts.

I'm Swedish, and live outside Göteborg on the West Coast. I was born in Finland, however, and consider myself Finnish as well.

Oh, and I don't have anything against Americans or Brits, barring Bush & Blair.

Claiming people just don't behave aspie enough has been a put down for a long time and unfortunately I can't see it stopping anytime soon- its an easy way for people to put down those whose behaviour they don't approve of, and lets face it, people quiet often go for the easy put down.

I think this all has a lot to do with my AS 'black & white' thinking -

I like to categorise people as 'good' or 'bad ' so for a person in a sort of bad category
to be talking about harmony etc seems just plain odd to me - you're in the bad category
- you're meant to sneer at such 'soft' concepts!

I feel you want your cake & to eat it ie when you want to be 'soft' and nice about things,
you want that liberty and yet you feel no compunction about going for the jugular of more innocent types
as the fancy takes you - there's a distinct lack of consistency and people are likely to doubt your sincereity

I think the problem has been striking a balance between not censoring people and having people held accountable for their words, and protecting more vulnerable members. Its hard to protect the rights of all- how do you protect a 'vulnerable' member whilst still allowing others to make them accountable for their words??   Should we have a category of members who can say what they like without people objecting simply because some may consider them to be more vulnerable than others?

Nessa, who are you talking to?

If you're talking about McJ, though, you should know that he is quite consistent. He does not conform to a preconceived notion--anyone's preconceived notion--but he is consistent in what he does and says, and I luuurve him for that.

I think the problem is in you, if he (or anyone else, for that matter) doesn't fit into the categories you've set up.

I learned a long time ago not to easily categorise anyone even though it's the only way for me to understand people at all. Without the stereotypes, I don't understand anyone. Which is why I don't flame you now, in spite of the troll(-ish) behaviour you started out with here.

You're worth reading, it seems now.

We were taught very early on that we're part of Scandinavia. We learned to hate everything Russian, mostly because of the war and the fact that we had to sacrifice a lot in order to survive as a country after that war.

Now, however, Russia is one of the places I'd really like to visit. I'd love to learn their language, and I feel a kind of kinship. It's weird. Don't tell my mum, though.

I was mainly referring to MCJagger re. his wanting AS unity etc - it just seemed contradictory to a lot of the
'taking people down' that seems to occur

There is bullying occurring, no matter how 'mild' or irrelevant people might like to think it and yet it seems to
have upset him to have it pointed out - this seems strange to me

I don't think this site serves the same function as ours, it seems more of a just a social place to chew the fat
We tend to cover more support issues on our site

If I asked someone for help on this site I'd fear they were going to take the piss/exploit my weaknes more than actually help

I think perhaps people on here have developed a hard/callous exterior as a defence mechanism against the hurt they've experienced in life

nessa,
first, let me congratulate you on your 20 page thread.  we have met our goals with a team effort, you being the leader.

second, i would think that you might find it interesting to note that this whole online bullying thing started over a guy named flo.  RobertN showed up in his defense.
you, being pro aspie and anti NT should also know that Flo has stated several times that he does not have AS.  he might of at one time been HFA but he is convinced that he is cured.
also, that he has also stated several times that he looks down on us for our AS traits. and has talked about his women as bitches who he would like to rape.
there is more, much more.

but, we, as an AS community stood up for ourselves as a group (a hard thing to do for AS people it seems), and we accomplished that, together.  he wasn't bullied, he was called out on his misinformation and slanderous words.  WE have pride.  and we are proud that we didn't take that crap without fighting back.

The original goal of intensity was to teach the bullied to learn to have a voice.  to learn to stand and be counted.  i think we have achieved that end.

why i am sad over this affair, is because as a result we have aspies turning on each other.  its not right, we should be congratulated for fighting back against the NT bully, who bragged about his trolling ability.  WE WON!
and it seems, we have gain not one mm of ground.
dammit!

It works in much the same way as IRL. Would you ask somebody you hardly knew? Support sites on the 'net are often just about the worst places for getting real help. Sure, you can get some stereotyped "poor you's", but would you get anything even remotely constructive?

This isn't a support site--there are many of those, and some good ones--this is a way for Aspies to learn how to fight back. You can still meet like-minded individuals and ask THEM for help. I can assure you, you would get it.

anyway, if pussy made me brave, why has it taken so long to kick in?  I first had sex at age 17 and I have not been brave at all since then.  I have been very timid because I did not embrace my NT self.

Note the Hugs and Kisses links to the left, right below the karma score. That's where you applaud or smite, that is, give or take away one point of karma. Hugs is +1, Kisses is -1, and if you think this is confusing, you're not alone.

More people have applauded you than the number who smote you.

Actually, the whole karma system is pretty meaningless.  When it started, the purpose was to applaud people who made insightful posts and smite people who were being jerks and some people still use it that way, but for some people it is just a joke.  For example keeping McJagger's karma at 69 is a joke.  Other people have had their karma stay at 69 for a while as well.  Some people prefer to receive negative karma instead of positive and some people don't.  We had a vote to get rid of the whole karma system, but the majority of voters wanted to keep it, so it stayed.  

You may have noticed that other members have Karma, Hugs and Kisses below their names and above their avatars.  If you want to give a member positive karma, you click on the one on the left (Hugs), if you want to give negative karma, click on the one on the right (Kisses).

The names Hugs and Kisses change regularly, but it is always the one on the left to increase someone's karma and the one on the right to decrease it.

i was thinking just that, lol!  i should imagine it would involve at lest one blow job, with a facial, lots of breasts, and anal sex.  and that'd be the "regular" (as i believe the term is in amreican) version - there are also economy, deluxe, super-deluxe and industrial strength versions.  but you probably need re-inforced gussets for the last two.

I don't think so- there are a few regular postwhores who are very vocal with their opinions on matters (I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I'm usually one myself but just haven't been bothered much just lately) but I don't think that indicates a hierarchy- although some like to suggest it does.  Although I suppose it may put off some of those who are less vocal from disagreeing.   I also wouldn't say that people's standing on the board is usually discussed- I just wondered why he thought you were on people's shit lists.  Do you feel as though you might be?

Esme is not on my shit-list and neither is RobertN.

I admire the way she came here to defend a friend who she thought was being bullied by us, just like I admire RobertN for standing up for his friend.

I don't admire their methods, but I certainly admire their loyalty.

Stereotyping is unavoidable

I try not to do it along the lines of gender/race/religion etc but neurology is far closer to home, so it feels more
personal - it's my very identity

I need to keep myself separate from them to avoid being 'assimilated' and losing ME

thats very simplistic (as is usually the case with stereotyping) and as such not very accurate.

There are plenty of sheeple who don't appear to have developed the inclination to think for themselves. But there are also plenty who don't fit that model. Otherwise there would be little diversity of worldview, personality, expression in society, and you know that isn't the case. It would be a grey and boring world if 99% of the population all behaved in the same way. If NTs were all the same, modelling appropriate social behaviour would be a piss of piss to learn.

Esme, for the record your not on my "shit list" either, theres no need for you to be. That doesnt mean i dont still doubt your reasons for being here etc, but whatever they are thats your business, they have no consequence to me. (my apologies if that seemed a little upfront but i dont do two-faced crap, im an outspoken bitch cant help it) ;D

Im genuinely glad you came back especially if you are here to give this place a proper go and judge for yourself. :)

your statement works just as well, and more accurately, if you replace 'NT' with 'boss class' - as I said last time. NT is far too sweeping and arbitrary a category for your assertion of who pulls the strings, creates the bullshit, makes the lies we have to live by. lies which serve the interests of nobody but those who stand to gain from it - divide and conquer. by pointing the finger at the 99% of society who do not share your neurology, you are ignoring the real culprit.

I do like it here Hypnotica/Kev

It's very interesting

I feel a better 'fit' than a lot of discussion boards

I'm not a group person though so never fully relax in group discussion - I'm sort of seeing myself as
a hypocrite/setting myself up for one hell of a fall while joining in

Also the blatant arse-licking that routinely occurs in any group situation never ceases to amaze/sicken me!
It's usually the dumbest/most evil f***** who's being sycophanted as well, to make it even more unjustifiable!

It's so conditional as well - 'In order to be in this group you have to prostrate yourself on the ground to this twat, bully that one, have no intellligent opinion on ANYTHING' etc etc

My brain is AS-NT hybrid I think, due to living most of my life thinking I was 'normal' - part of me is desparate to join in and be accepted but the AS side sees this as too risky and 'selling out' so it keeps me in check

I don't know how I'm meant to have a consistent personality/worldview with that going on all the time!

I do think I have a very good appreciation of the NT mind-set though, so when a person, AS or NT displays what I consider to be this type of behaviour, I am acutely aware of it

Also, in terms of your views Dunc, I would say you're conversely not sufficiently aware of the NT influence on your life as it's so pervasive.  I'll admit you've got the healthier attitude to things but I would say it's down to being oblivious to a lot of it ie you're already part-assimilated anyway  ;)

makes more sense, except that the 'NT people make up a bulk of the population' line is disconnected. Its like a deductive argument with part of the conclusion omitted.

also, this socialization has taken a very long time to get used to.
yes, i talk alot (does that mean that i am not AS or more of something than another?), but i remember when i first joined these AS forums that i pissed alot of people off with my straight talk and honest opinions.
through effort i have learned to compromise a bit, or people have come to learn that i am harmless.
i am like that teeny tiny dog that rushes to the front door to bark at everything, but you know that you could probably drop kick him into next week if you had to.

You might consider yourself pretty genuine, but there are plenty here with integrity, honesty and who are true to themselves - which is a fair definition of being genuine to me.

how can you be so genuine when you are always questioning others intentions.  it seems to be projection.  i have found that people who are real and genuine articles seem to be the most trusting, because, since they wouldn't do it, they assume others wouldn't as well.

of human 'types', it's an automatic reflex thing

I'm an ASer for Godssakes!

I think I don't have the capacity for real 'closeness' in group situations as it seems to involve a lot of nonsensical
joshing around and overt, sometimes forced, 'mateyness' that I just can't genuinely do or properly relate to

Apologies for my presentation of AS... ;)

To fake all the 'matey' stuff would be me being ungenuine tho...

I can tell I piss people off/bore them by not 'joining in' more but I genuinely don't have the vocabulary/mindset for it

all i am saying is beware if you are controversial and hate conflict.  you will be called to the mat for your words.
i don't mind conflict because it helps me to grow as a person and come out of my theory of mind issues.
i am like you where everything is black and white.  i do not know the shades of grey.  sometimes i put shit out there just to get other peoples POV.  that isn't really being honest, but it does help me grow.  its all about me, you know.

Stereotyping is unavoidable

I try not to do it along the lines of gender/race/religion etc but neurology is far closer to home, so it feels more
personal - it's my very identity

I need to keep myself separate from them to avoid being 'assimilated' and losing ME

Eeek!

I go away to live my life and look what happens!?

Can I just quote Dunc here:-

"its hard to feel comfortable posting somewhere, when you are constantly biting your tongue to avoid upsetting someone, or being seen as nasty. that was one of the main reasons this site was created."

So surely I'm living up to the ethic of this board ie NOT biting my tongue to avoid upsetting anyone??

You lot give it out but don't like it back - I maintain my original stance!

No one said my opinion was God's given word either, it's only ever been just that, AN OPINION

But it sure has riled some of you!  Methinks I toucheth a nerve!

And yes, Seagal's Panda - I DO love a good ruck!   >:D

And McJagger, I've responded to loads of sensible stuff, in fact i think you'll find I've endeavoured to reply to all
qeustions asked of me and have asked non-confrontational questions on others' threads as well

On the contrary, It's some of YOU LOT who haven't given various of my posts the time of day, due I think to their very non-controversial nature!

To wit my last post on Jizz's thread - where's the answer to that one??

And when I asked Kev if he was American or English

You are being the rude, ignorant ones here, but oh sorry - you lot make up your own rules as you go along
on here don't you, silly me   ::)

With an absence OF a decent set of rules there's no consistency and therefore NO calling anyone on not adhering to said non-existant rules in my book!

And thepeaguy - I never even said I WAS talking for the whole autistic demograph - whatever gave you that idea??

I was talking about JUST ME - do you deign to know me better than I know myself??

Everyone deals with their Autism i their own particular way - what works for one might not for another

I have a house, job, friends and (up until recently) boyfriend and I feel happier than I've ever felt with my life
so I do not see how my 'misguided' views regarding autism are holding me back, in which case I would see them as realistic and healthy!

Tell me how wonderful your own life is peaguy cos I see you regularly kiciking off for no apparent reason such as a Guest looking at your thread!  That does not indicate to me a person 'at peace' with themselves
You assumed they were doing it for negative reasons - perhaps they find you an interesting person!

If odeon doesn't come on to berate you for flaming me in an unreasonable way (as he accuses me of doing when I first came on here), i can only deduce it's because:-

a)he's more of a friend to you than to me

b) being a bit of a hypocrite

Volunteering is good

Your deductive skills really aren't that good. See, it's about respect, and it's something you have to earn. It's not enough to barge in and start insulting people, believe it or not. Surely you're old enough to have some idea of acceptable behaviour even if you're autistic?

Perhaps you did not see, but here is where Kevv answered your questions in his Ask Away thread, Esme:

I live in Rapid City South Dakota U.S.A..

I am 43 years old.

I do not work I am on Social Security Disability.

No I like being who I am.

Here is where Jizz answered your question:

Hmmmmm ok, my lazy eye must be lazier than I realised lol....

Why do you ask about HG and I? ;)

HG has a bullshit detector that I love. If she says you're a cunt then you probably need to look at your own personality rather than calling her a bitch or whatever. It really IS that simple. YOU NO TALK SHIT SHE NO CALL YOU A CUNT.

Oi McJagger, I respect the creative types, so Dunc may bukkake me if he wants...does that make you jealous at all?

Hmmmmmmmm, I'll try answer why I left in the first place.

HG said she was leaving because of a situation that came up on here.  was also thinking along the same lineas anyway because particular things were said that had me laughing. Some people seemed to take this whole internet forum thing way too serious. The MAIN EVENT section is where I will most probably get my laughs. I have a love/hate relationship with the people that take these places too serious. One day they are my source of entertainment, the next day they are the source of my ultimate frustration. So I got dizzy and deleted my account.

I came back because HG (or Andriea as she allows me to call her) kept on about this and that and whatever...plus Dunc got in touch with me through another site..........I decided I wanted to vent some childish humour on another place......so 'here I am' (Skid Row song that...off the Skid Row album I do believe!) ;)


You still have not answered McJagger's question:

esme, are you mad at me also?

Or mine:

I have come to wreak vengeance on your sorry asses

I have a unique style of postign that is guaranteed to wind up all but the most mellow of posters

I have been honing it for years and this site appears to be my very Nemesis!

My ex is my ex because we were falling out too much (no unsurprisingly)

And it was MY decision to split, I wasnt dumped for being 'crap in bed' or other
equally grossly unimaginative reasons

Oh Peter you've already LOST any battle you want to have with me - surrender NOW cos I'm gonna
take your 'personality' (snigger) apart bit by sorry bit and you'll be weeping in a heap on the floor by the time I've finished with ya!

Es-me   >:D



I did not intend to imply that your ex dumped you.  I was curious about your reason for dumping him, because you say you will answer anything, unlike the rest of us.  "Falling out too much" is a cop-out answer which means nothing.

Peter lovely???!

Is this some new definition of lovely

Peter needs punching out!

He's your typical grotesquely mysogenistic Alpha Male
purely by dint of being vaguely attractive but not overly so

It's given him some kind of God complex

Peter is very nice-looking.  You come across like you are nursing a grudge against him, perhaps because he reminds you of someone you used to know.

Do you know any of us?  If not, how can you bear such a grudge?


Or this question of Peter's referring to RobertN:

Wrong!

I do know of him though

And what's your opinion of him?

I am sure there are other questions that you have forgotten to address as well.

You seem to have come here with a grudge against Peter and others without taking the time to see for yourself what actually happened.

For example, what could you possibly have against QuirkyCarla?  She was one of the people who stood up for RobertN, yet you attacked her.

What small print, Praetor?  ???

from here (http://www.nas.org.uk/nas/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=409&a=4508):

Quote from: National Autistic Society
t is estimated that there are about 332,600 people of working age in the UK with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), and of this number an estimated 259,506 are thought to be of average or above average intelligence. NAS research by Barnard et al (2001) has shown only 6% of all people with an ASD have full-time paid employment, and only 12% of those with high-functioning autism or Asperger syndrome had full-time jobs.

reference:
Barnard J. et al (2001). Ignored or ineligible?: the reality for adults with autism spectrum disorders. London: The National Autistic Society.

I haven't been able to find this online (not in a five minute google anyway) - have you read it? If the sample used in the study was made up solely of NAS members, how significantly do you think that affects the validity of this statistic?
Title: Re: Ask ME! (Esme) anything and I (unlike others on here) WILL answer
Post by: Praetor on September 02, 2006, 09:14:23 PM
Well it is valid for the NAS membership population they used. The key word here is "ESTIMATED" they took the result assuming it was correct for a UK Wide population and have essentially applied the same ratio to a nation wide level. Its making too many assumptions of NAS members and the non-NAS members. Its very pedantic i know but you do have to take apart these researchers and not just simply go by the paper attached to their name.

At the end of the day the unemployment issue was given neccesary coverage and highlighted but it is not an accurate reflection of the nation wide population. Its also practically very difficult to get hold of information, if you wanted to get an accurate number of how many diagnosed aspergers there were in the UK right now im not sure if it  is something that would come up in a national census or on NHS databases, but even then its confidentiality, data protection act etc etc so alot of the time a researcher will just make a guess, easier and cheaper. The NAS doesnt have to pay money out to research its own membership

Post by: duncvis on September 02, 2006, 09:23:51 PM
That doesn't exactly make it a myth then, just a 'best guess' extrapolation. Would you agree that the basic point made by the researchers (and by extension the NAS) is a fair one, even bearing in mind that the variance from the data used in the study is likely to be much greater nationwide, so the percentage quoted may well be a bit out?

You DO realize that other people have lives and may not be reading your questions right after you post them? We're not all on this site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, though some of us come close...and if you see someone's logged on, they could still be signed in to the site but away from their computer. Just because someone hasn't responded doesn't mean they aren't going to respond.


You are being the rude, ignorant ones here, but oh sorry - you lot make up your own rules as you go along
on here don't you, silly me   ::)

There you go being a hypocrite again. You're the one who came to this site only knowing RobertN and ascan's opinions of it, and before you were even here long enough  to form your own opinion, you were attacking random people (myself included...and I'm one of the nicest people on this site!)...which is pretty ignorant if you ask me. A more intelligent person would have lurked for a bit, gotten more information, and formed their own opinion before they decided to judge/attack others. Yes, there are no rules against attacking people, but it was still rude. You claim you're a nice person? Yeah right. Putting random strangers down isn't something a "nice" person does. You also admitted that you love internet wars (not in those exact words, but you agreed with Segalls when he said you love wars), which doesn't sound like a "nice" person either. You've also complained about people making snap judgements, when you make plenty of your own. You've made some pretty ignorant generalizations too.

OK, OK, so I'm guilty of a lot of the above

I never said I was perfect!

My own brother once said 'if you can argue with Vanessa, you can argue with anyone, she moves the goalposts
so much' lol - there - see I can at least admit to my own weaknesses! 

I will now endeavour to answer the questions I missed before moving on to the 12% in employment debate:-

1. McJagger - no I am not mad at you (I'm sure i did answer this btw)

2. Callaway - I dumped my ex because he would get very aggressive and sometimes violent during rows
                  - he would prob say the same about me, so it just wasn't healthy
                 When your own bf calls the police round on you, it's time to call it a day!

3. Peter - I did answer the question re. what i think of Robert - I said he was OK, I don't really know him
             
I never came here with a grudge against anyone inparticular either, i just selected a few random threads to post facetious, provocative comments on, in an effort to get peoples' attention and rile them into biting back

I apologise if I upset anyone, but part of me thought/still thinks that you would like that sort of challenge as you all seem more than capable of defending yourselves from attack (to me)

I was on a mission to a) get back at a site that appeared to have a reputation for bullying and b) test out what the site was capable of in terms of nastiness

No I am not on the council of AV

I have no control over the council and have no particular feelings of hatred towards Americans, neither
do people on AV - they just took a decision to keep it British Isles i suppose to keep the site more
relevant and more manageable

I don't dislike Americans; I don't really know any so have nothing to base an opinion on
I spent time with a family in Oregan while at school on an exchange visit and it was OK, I felt
they didn't really 'take' to me though as I wasn't lively enough for them I think
They were nice people though

Re. the disability issue - I realise everyone is different but I feel there can be a tendancy for some people to
give up the struggle in terms of finding/maintaining employment.  That is their choice but I feel in the long
run it's better for people to keep trying ,as work is a mainstay of my life - without it i'm f*****

So I try and put across the benefits of continually striving to find employment.  I'm not looking down on those
who don't work though.  I was making a facile, cheap-shot remark to peaguy re. it figuring that he wasn't employed
- I know it was unfair but he had provoked me with his unpleasant posts towards me

AS people who stand up for themselves - I admire people who stand up for themselves, I certainly don't dislike them
but obviously, within the 'stand up for themselves' category there are going to be 'personality clashes' ie people
I don't see eye to eye with and vice versa

Please feel free to point out any other questions I haven't answered

Re the 12% with AS/HFA in work, that's only an estimate and only known/diagnosed people

I would say that there are a significant number of people in work, who, because their presentation of AS/HFA
is mild or they have adapted to life well, have had no cause to seek a diagnosis

In this instance ie not having a need for a diagnosis, do they in fact have AS??, if it is seen to be an impairment and
if, to all intents and purposes, their lives are not being held back

I myself was only diagnosed almost by accident - if I hadn't lost my temper in a meeting at work and been referred to Occ Health, I would never have been diagnosed, so that's 1% less on the estimate

How many others are there like me??

I have a suspicion of statistics as they always seem quite nebulous - the same small percentage of Londoners are
being asked a lot of the questions!

When they produce typically inane stats that seem to fill the papers these days such as  ' 54% of West Midlanders prefer the missionary postion' I always think 'And who asked ME??'

Likewise with my employment - where has it been quantified?

I've read that the health service where I live don't keep a specific record of people with an ASD - it is not a very well
quantified condition - I would say this is partly deliberate, as if they knew the exact number, they'd be forced
to actually provide some decent support services for us!

Very true McJagger

I have written to my MP and Health Service about the lack of ASD-specific service provision in my area

There was a Draft Future Mental Health Strategy document for my local Health service put out to the public for consultation earlier this year and in 50-odd categories there was no mention of ASD's - Personality Disorder got it's own category though!!!

I assumed we were being included in with the Learning Disability category but often when people with a AS try to get funding or support services via the LD or Mental Health route they are often denied them through not fitting the category

currently, i have been in this ongoing negotiation with my daughters elementary school over her IEP program, trying to get specialized interrests courses added for her.

currently she really likes drawing and colouring on paper and folding them into fans.

i just think that if she could have a portion of her day (very small) dedicated to what her current special interest is, then it would help her to focus more on school work. 

its just that as the day goes on,m she loses interest as her mind starts to wander.  the first thing she tells me after school is decisions she has made about her special interest.  that tells me that she probably shuts down (at some point) alltogether.  i can't see how that is beneficial to her studies.

i am working on a name for my proposal, i am thinking about calling it: release time.

Sounds a really good idea - making it more formal by writing an actual proposal is a very good idea
as well-documented things are more likely to be taken on board

Stick in a few supporting references from Tony Attwoood, Lorna Wing etc to make it look more evidence-based
as well!

I agree with what you said about people striving to earn their own money, but I think the point a lot of people miss is that just because someone doesn't currently have a job it does not mean that they aren't trying to find a way to work.  I think people get so annoyed when people seem to be looking down on others for not having a job because they aren't completely happy about the fact themselves.  Its hard enough feeling yourself that you're not a good enough person because you've not manage to cope in a job without having other people use it as an attempt to put you down.

And I question since this is your ask me thread:  If you could change 3 things about the world what would they be?

I think the site is 'sharper' than other sites I've been on; it has a greater propensity
for nastiness when provoked

In school there were the 'swotty' kids who behaved themselves and didnt question authority
(ie me) then there were the 'smoking behind the back of the bike sheds' brigade - this site is
the AS equivalent of this type, in my opinion

This is not a criticism, just a differentiation of two 'types' - obviously inbetween these 2 extremes there are
infinate variations ie many people with a foot in both camps

The mistake I have made is in thinking that all people with AS would be, by default, swotty types
when in fact we cover the whole spectrum of behaviour

'If you could change 3 things about the world what would they be?'

That is too general a question for me to easily answer

2. By enforceable law I would make wealthy countries/companies put back a set percentage of their profits back
    into society

3. I would make voting legally enforceable and more issues dependant on a democratic vote

yes, for the person who made the rules.
i have always been an outside the box thinker and have found very little logic in most rules.  they tend to be written for the sake of convenience.

laws are a different matter.  i believe that laws are important, ie: no rape, murder, theft, etc...
but laws written to protect the individual for themself are annoying and limiting of freedoms.  ie: prostitution, drugs, seatbelt and helmet laws, etc...

Rules usually = coercion, and a judgement made by someone as to what is desirable/acceptable. on the whole, I can't see that as a good thing myself - if there are to be 'rules' they should follow spirit not letter, and be as few as possible.

I fall into the left-libertarian (i.e. anarchism) pigeonhole mainly - the main gripe I have against socialists is the tendency to micromange everyone.

Is society really doing it's best for people if it just says 'OK, take whatever drugs you like, we won't penalise you'??

if peoples actions are only harming themselves then it should be allowed.
if someone steals to support their habit then the crime should be theft.

if it effecting a family, then ideally the situation could be made into individual choices.  the man is a heroin addict the wife should leave his sorry ass, and start anew with the kids.
both parents are messed up, well people have lived through much worse, and came out of it as better people.

The drug war is doomed to failure - making criminals out of people who take drugs helps nobody - and keeps the black market going, along with other negative effects (like addicts stealing to fund their habit, instead of making heroin available on prescription to registered addicts). This is along with the fact that most drug users do not commit crimes, other than the 'crime' of using a substance which the powers that be have decreed should be forbidden to them.

wrt the drugs debate:-

http://observer.guardian.co.uk/drugs/story/0,,997390,00.html

A person's perspective on drug-use is invariably going to be directly related to whether they take drugs themselves or not

Even cannabis has now been shown to significanlty increase the risk of schizophrenia and psychosis in certain people so it's by no means a safe bet:-

The issue is not whether it is safe to take drugs, it is whether the state has the right to make criminals of those to choose to do so - I contend that it does not. I don't think you necessarily need to be a drug user to take that position.

When the mood takes me, I don't see any difference between a couple of spliffs on a weekend and a few pints in front of the telly. I consider alcohol and tobacco to have a far more detrimental impact on society and on the individuals who use them to excess, but I don't see a rush of cries to lock up the tobaccos barons, who are in effect legal death pushers. its all about power, and who holds it. I'd be of the same opinion if I didn't occasionally indulge personally.

None of them has an official dx. There are lots of rumors about both Gates and Spielberg, but so far they've not confirmed anything. And Einstein, of course, died long before Lorna Wing coined the name Asperger Syndrome.

And she disowned it because the research behind the label was shite. Nya nya.

Common misconception. Some of the symptoms match, but that's all. Autistic psychopathy, I think he called it. The condition he studied and described in his paper was probably as much what is defined as HFA today.

Mine's rapidly going down so not much! Lol

It seems very sycophantic to me - oops there goes another 4 points!

It's a popularity contest so doesn't really bother me - let the 'populars' get on with it!   :laugh:

If you've got the type of personality that appeals to others you're evidently gong to get loads of points but
you could still be a psycopath at the end of the day; who can ever know what a person is really like?  ;)

I find the board quite addictive though - was on it far too late yesterday

I can't see this being a constant though - after a day's work at a computer screen I often
prefer to watch TV in the week

I don't know what is giving you that idea??

I'm not evil enough for a start!

I'm not an elitist either

And odeon's a member for Godssakes! 

Do I need any more reasons???!    ::)

No, I don't know the original purpose

The movie is based on a play.

Intensity's original purpose was extremely clever.  It was meant to be a "holding pen" of sorts for the trolls and trouble makers on other AS boards who wrecked havoc.  The idea was that by giving them a place with no rules and free speech, they would a) stop harrassing the innocents on the other boards and 2) come into their own and have their hostile behavior re-focused into stength.

Also, it was meant to give the voiceless a voice, to teach people to stand up for themselves.

The original Intensity had to leave the neurolands, its original home, due to its controvertial content.  At that point it was hosted on its own server space not in association with other boards or entities.

its just that i have read her say she was sorry, and i have read her say that she likes it here.

i know she shows double standards at times, but in truth, don't we all.

i have seen her edit her own cursing, which makes me think she hasn't really settled in to the idea of freedom or being yourself, which could explain alot.

that's all, i would just like to see her given a chance.

i know odeon that you like to keep it real and all, but, please, for me, will you allow her to ease into the water rather than tossing her into the deep end and yelling, "doggy paddle."

I'm touched by your defence of me McJagger!

I'm not in a mood, I've just been doing other things btw

I attempted the Ministry of Sound 'Pump It Up' Exercise DVD this evening and won't
be doing it again!

I couldn't keep up with the routines and this stupid airhead woman in what looked like her her underwear
kept saying 'Look Sexy' 'Look Sexy', Whooh, Yeah!  - which is a surefire way NOT to!

It was all about grinding your pelvis and acting like some sort of utter trollop!

It was the weirdest combination of sex and exercise - no move was made without it being done
like frigging lapdancer or something!

I felt tainted by the whole thing!

On the plus side the music was good   :)

Then, on watching the documentary I discovered they'd practiced the routine for 5 days solid
so I didn't do too badly!    :laugh:

what are you talking about kevv.  are you making judgments about sexual activity.  i see nothing wrong with enjoying sex alot.  i am not putting her down.

societies rigid rules on the actions of women in reguards to sexuakl intercourse is the one keeping her or any women down.  inhibiting them.  its just wrong.

I think that would be a tad obvious!

OK sorry for turning my thread into a 'My Questions' one but I need to ask advice on stuff:-

I was asked today if I would like to see this colleague in his underpants on a billboard
- I had to say no and that it was an improper topic for office conversation, to play the part that was expected of me and get off the topic as soon as posible as it was far too close to home but I really wanted to say 'Hell yes!  Forget the pants as well' lol

I said to my colleague after that this other person who made the comment (he's a walking innuendo) made me feel awkward saying stuff like that and my collleague said 'Yes but more importantly would you like to?'

This type of jokey stuff makes me squirm with embarrassment as I know he'd have been shocked if i'd said yes

Why are people like this?

And more importantly do you think he's just messing with me cos he knows I like him?

I just don't know how to take this person tho, he doesn't seem to take anything seriously
and has a very short attention span

I feel really strong chemistry from my side towards him, I just can't interpret the vibes from him though

This other colleague has said stuff before relating to my colleague as if he's trying to prompt a response from me about him and i just feel very suspicious that I'm being discussed

How easy is it to find out stuff about the sites a person visits online?   ???

Very. Therefore, don't give them a reason.

If you use a computer at work, it's as easy as logging the Internet traffic over the switch/router/firewall/whatever. Sysadmins like that sort of thing.

Having a nickname to look for helps, too, if you just want to dig. Google is your friend.

But he's only got basic network admin rights so i dont see how he could tell any site id been on
Title: Re: Ask ME! (Esme) anything and I (unlike others on here) WILL answer
Post by: odeon on September 07, 2006, 01:33:12 PM
Hard to say what that means, but if he has access to the switch, he probably can log the traffic. Most internal networks are too unprotected.

OTOH, there is a real possibility that he's just trying to spook you.

It's jsut the way this other guy seems to drag my colleague into his comments as if they're some kind of 'team'

Perhaps I am just being paranoid tho

He said 'Oh we know what you're really like'

I said 'You don't know me at all'

He said 'Oh we do' in a way that just worried me - why go to the trouble of saying stuff like that??

My colleague was remaining tight-lipped as well

I asked him the other day if he went on discussion boards and he said 'Yes' in a tone that said get off the subject now cos i dont want to talk about it with you

Without wanting to criticise him in any way, I just don't think his focus is on the written word at all
nor on anything particularly intellectual

That's why I like him, he's without pretention of any kind

He's sports-minded, taking qualifications to be a fitness instructor, plays poker online, supports local football team,
goes out clubbing with his friends
- he just has an almost opposite mindset to this type of site basically ie this site is more about thinking than doing

Post by: esme456 on September 08, 2006, 10:40:41 AM
No, I just woke up feeling really sick/out of sorts - haven't actually been sick tho

Unfortunately it's going to look like a real skive to people at work/my parents as:-

a) my parents weren't here to give me my usual lift to work

b) I was meant to see the Support Service Counsellor at 8.00am (I was never going to get there under my own steam anyway!)

c) My 'colleague' is off today also so we would be short staffed in the office and it was v stressful for me yesterday

   - I swore at someone over the phone thinking it was the 2nd silent/crank call in a row but it was just someone's phone on the blink whereby they could hear us but not be heard.  I said 'Are you taking the f-ing piss?!' 

Just my luck that this gets reported back to our departmental manager!  He said to my line manager 'If people get silent calls, can they say to the caller 'I can't hear you, I'm putting the phone down now' instead of  'Are you taking the f-ing piss'

LOL  he never said a word to me tho
- perhaps he just put me on the 'Make redundant at first opportuity' list   ::)

It all looks like a skive but unless my body had magically created a 'sick feeling' to order, it's not!

If I think a judgmental thing but stop and think 'Oh no, if I say that on the board, people will think me judgmental, I'd better make some non-controversial, bland comment instead' and go ahead and make said bland, neutral comment,
how is this being true to myself??

 think we should all establish a time (within the next week or so), and have a drunken chat conversation, with several members of I² participating.

shots every ten minutes and a cold beer always in hand (or wine).

we can name a designated log saver, who will post the declining results of the entire session.  that way, the next day, we can all use the blushing emoticon, frequently.

and, we should remember that this is Intensity².  so no holds barred.

also, clothing is optional.




who would be interested in this?

perhaps next sunday between 10pm and midnight british time.

that means i would be drinking by about two in the afternoon.



next sunday sept 18.  would you be interested?

I googled Ascan + Asperger, and ended up on Aspie Village and read the thread with Nessa's reasoning for being here.  It was all very exciting to be sure, but had a premature climax.

Nope.  I don't think it would have delivered anyway.  She has no schadenfreude, just bluster.
thats it, i had to find out for myself:

scha·den·freu·de [ shd'n fròydə ] or Scha·den·freu·de [ shd'n fròydə ]


noun 
 
Definition:
 
gloating at somebody else's bad luck: malicious or smug pleasure taken in somebody else's misfortune

 
[Late 19th century. < German < Schaden "harm" + Freude "joy"]


i am surprised its a combination of the two languages, i would have guessed german.

Yeah, I think "malicious joy" is probably the best translation for it.  There is schadenfreude in a lot of the drama I've read lately, on both sides.  This thread though was lacking it, and it just made it fizzle out.

Post by: lilia on September 12, 2006, 10:07:27 AM

No, if there's pleasure in the arguing, or real passion there - there is some joy in it.

Obviously, people who are standing up for their position are passionate about it, normally.  I think expressing something you are at least somewhat passionate about allows joy into the situation.  There is malice in that there is a determination (often, but not always) to undermine the other person's stance.

I don't think Esme is a bad person, at all.  I just think she came here with the intent to stir things up. There wasn't any real passion in it, nor any personal stance aside from attention seeking.  Attention seeking, in and of itself, isn't a bad thing either.  It just wasn't the drama I wanted while I was looking around.

Of course, that said, I enjoy watching people be mean to each other as well - if it's done artfully.

You are right Aeval, I don't usually take pleasure in others' misfortune and find it a bad quality in others

On the other hand, if the person has been really mean to me or if i consider them a horrible person, then I might not be too upset if misfortune befalls them

In fact, there's sometimes this thing where bad things have happened to people who have been horrible to me (not done by me I hasten to admit) and i've thought of it as God looking after me rather lol

I don't see why people get pleasure from seeing others suffer or from hurting them for that matter - it's like sadism
