I like to know what you guys think of this short movie. Do you find it inspiring, or do simply find it to be a complete waste of time?

i find it utterly amazing that anubend expresses herself so differently online and in real life.  i have mixed feelings about it, relating to how people meeting her make assumptions about her intellectual abilities, given her "outward appreance", compared to the incredibly intelligent, articulate and thoughtful person i've seen online.  it's almost scary, to me.

i think there's something very pure about her physical expression, but the communication aspects of it really freak me out - how frustrated must she be?  of course, this could be pure projection on my part.

True, thats why i didnt quote you. This Ms Baggs really should have thought before she put out a video out like that, what a great way to persude NT's to do the opposite thing to what she wants them to do...

What, exactly, are you going to add? Just so you know that I agree with A.B. What I don't like are people who are misinterpreting what her actual intentions are concerning those two video links I've recently posted here.

And why do people make these assumptions that she has inherited "one of the purest communications from God"? Religious fuckwits... She is not glorifying her real-life behaviour.

I dont give a rats arse what her intentions are, look at what she has done. Do you want every NT to think that we are bouncing idiots! I assume not. Why does she feel the need to make these idiotic videos that do nothing to further our cause, in fact they send it sky rocketing backwords.

you supercilious little cunt.  you have absolutely no idea about that woman's life - it's nothing to you but something to "have fun with".

no-one has to justify anything to you, and especially not when every time you open your pathetic mouth, all you can do is make yourself look more like what you are - someone who's been educated beyond their intelligence.

do youself a favour and fuck off until you've learned some basic manners, apart from anything else.

I am disgusting am i Lucifer, takes one to know one...
I have an idea about her life, the fact is unless she wants to be in the next video of Autism Speaks, she should gain a knowledge of PR. As we happen to share the same brand, i think she needs to be wiser with it. Think how the NT's are going to look at it, for christs sake. She has just provided them with a perfect oppotunity. You do understand PR Lucifer, she has just totally humilated herself, and us! As for me being educated beyond my intelligence, prove it. Why are you getting so offended by me being rational Lucifer.

for someone who claims so much knowledge about everything, you are almost as oblivious as flo.

ordinarily, i'd try to facilitate your understanding of where you're going wrong, and offer support for you  to sort things out and make things easier for you - it's my job, after all.  because i'm so disgusted, i'd prefer to sit back and watch with joyful Schadenfreude, as you fuck up your life because you won't listen to anything but your own, over-inflated sense of self importance.

in fact, i'd go even further - you're not even worth my attention.

I don't feel offended nor disgusted by this "lesser individual" for her actions because she was making a strong statement as to what is regarded as intelligence, personhood, language, and communication, and what does not. And just because people are cognitively disabled, why should we deny their own humanity?

That's my interpretation of the film. Take it what you will.

Lucifer, I have a knowledge of politics and PR beyond yours. Go and showcase her video to a bunch of NT's and see what they think. If that video gets widely spread it becomes a problem, regardless of intentions. As for me being overinflated, i do listen to people, but in this case just accept it is seriously bad PR she has just released, and i am not entralled by her "representing us". Ideally she could stim all she likes all day long, but we live in reality unfortuantly and she cant, at least publically, without making all of us look fools.

I am not saying deny her of her humanity. I am saying she keeps her videos to her self. What I think is irrelevent in PR terms, its what NT's think unfortuantly.

I like the one with captions much better.

Hadron, if you think that Amanda Baggs is not a fit spokesmodel for our autistic community, then why don't you make your own video and put it out there like she has?

You can't, can you? 

I think Amanda's video is a way for people to shed some of their stereotypes about others. 

I think that it was incredibly brave of her to put herself out there like she has done and I have a great deal of respect for her.

On the spokesperson thing, I have the downside of being way to young, personally I think the spokesperson thing should be left to an Aspie who has succeeded in NT world.
The thing is I have time on my side, it isnt something I need to do immediately, and asides I have better plans than being a spokesperson.
As for her video it was a backward step, if that went out on national television all of us would have problems for months if we tried to explain autism. Do I need to revive Dr_Quark to prove it to you and show what NT's would think about it! Most of us do not roll around and stim all day, thank you very much, some of us actually try to achieve something believe it or not.
Yes she is brave for what she did, but it doesnt change what she did being rank stupidity at best. I have been on national television myself a time ago for my own merits, and yes I do know it can be an experience.

That video not only made it to national TV, but she was also interviewed by CNN. --What problem is there? She is quite profoundly affected by Autism, yet she is one of the most articulate individuals I have seen. --I like reading her posts quite a bit.
So considering the fact that she is profoundly affected by autism, and we are less affected by it does that make her any less able of a spokesperson or are you playing the proverbial elitism card in favoring those who are less affected, and more 'normal' in behaviour as well as appearance?

It depends what you mean by national TV, and who and how many people saw it. Put it like this, when you try to explain autism to someone, if they have that in their head then people are just going to assume you are bullshitting if you appear to be vaguely normal. Considering she wants to beat Autism Speaks in a PR war she has just handed them their first victory. What matters is how NT's see it, not how we see it, and from an NT perspective, what do you think they will think of her, and by extension us. There is a very simple way to test it, believe it or not, all I have to do is post it on a foruma and see the reaction...

Personally, I need nobody as a spokesperson for myself, and find it quite bewildering why somebody would look for a spokesperson.

How exactly is it that she handed Autism Speaks their first victory???  In spite of the fact that she niether looks or acts 'normal' , she has been more than able to make her opinion known and accessible via that video. She has certainly made me quite aware of the fact that even though she is quite outwardly 'differant' she is fully cognizant of her surroundings, and is able to communicate effectively, and make her opinions known. -- How does that play into the hands of organisations like Autism Speaks, as well as CAN???

Its not a matter of what the public needs to know. It is what we want the public to know and what we want them to do. Her bouncing around on TV helps us how, exactly, asides being a possible source of footage for Autism Speaks and CAN.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it there.

Since when did she state that she speaks for everyone in the autistic community in her video? I thought it was mainly to do with taking disabled peoples' humanity for granted.

maybe you do.  but you don't know that.  you have no idea about me, none whatsoever - i could have worked in the media for longer than you've been born, or have a partner who has, or anything.

when are you going to learn that you do NOT know everything, and stop making wildly inaccurate assumptions?

yes, but i doubt very much he will.

still, he won't listen.  no point in bashing one's head against a brick wall.

we?  i shouldn't claim to speak for anyone else, if i were you.
Neither should Amanda really, thought you would finally get round to shooting yourself in the foot like that...

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it there.

Since when did she state that speaks for everyone in the autistic community in her video? I thought it was mainly to do with taking disabled peoples' humanity for granted.

"Yay, he can't excel at Maths! Let's make fun of him, the spastic! He's a non-human, anyway, so it's all good."
Since she went on TV as an someone under the autistic spectrum, she used our label, end of. Thats how she defined herself. Her using a label that many other people share suddenly becomes everyone on the spectrums buisiness doesnt it?

Why dont you enlighten me on some of this stuf you are doing, the reason you are dodging the questions is that I must be partially right somewhere. As for lying, i have made an assumption that you have not done so too frequently to make what I have more or less figured out invalid.

Ok, back on topic.

Both Lucifer and Hadron raise valid points. And sniping each other because you disagree is not getting anyone anywhere. K? Good.

Amanda Baggs' videos poses an intriguing question, what is language and what is communication? Autistics know the hard way that communication isn't just verbal language, it's verbal, it's bodyn it's alot of other things. Communication can be both blunt and subtle at the same time. And indeed some people don't even use verbal language to communicate. We're now using a textual language it's visual in nature. Same with sign language.
I don't think Amanda Baggs' version of language is any less relevant than any other form of communication. But!

There's always a but. She complains that people don't make the effort to learn her language or her ways, which is a valid complaint, however she has made little effort to learn the languages of others except where it benefits her, such as typing. From what I heard in her video she seems like an incredibly lazy and selfish person, not learning to blow her nose til she was 25, but she seems quite capable of constructing this rather complex and provocative video; because it serves her purpose. And is not Autism essentially "of the self"?

Before we criticise others, be they Amanda, Lucifer or Hadron, take a few moments to learn where they're coming from and understand their point of view. That way you'll be far more equipped to rip their arguments to pieces  :evillaugh:

Title: Re: Amanda Baggs' video
Post by: Pyraxis on July 24, 2007, 06:31:02 PM
I think that if Hadron is going to rail against negative representation of an "autistic brand", he would be better off to go after the mass of people who come off as whiners and fakers to NT's. I'm not saying they are whiners and fakers for asking for supports that NT's don't understand the need for. But if they could be taught better advocacy skills, their requests wouldn't be rejected so offhandedly.

Of course, if one is to invest energy in teaching better advocacy skills, there are better ways to do it than ranting about a woman who isn't even here to defend herself. Hadron would be more effective to approach Amanda Baggs in person and offer suggestions on how to improve her message. By simply saying she should shut up if she can't act more "normal", he's effectively taking on the position of the NT's he claims to be fighting.

One has only to read through a few pages of comments on Amanda Baggs' site to realize how many people her message is reaching, with some semblance of accuracy. While anyone in a media spotlight has both positive and negative effects, she has done more good than harm.

I think Lucifer is doing her usual routine of condescension and verbal maneouvering to cover her ass, being a sore loser even though it was just one point Hadron scored on her. Her criticism of Hadron is accurate. But "i don't reveal stuff about myself to people i don't know or trust" is immediately suspicious (not to mention a convenient "out" from the debate) and makes one wonder what she wants so badly to hide.

One has only to read through a few pages of comments on Amanda Baggs' site to realize how many people her message is reaching, with some semblance of accuracy. While anyone in a media spotlight has both positive and negative effects, she has done more good than harm.

I think Lucifer is doing her usual routine of condescension and verbal maneouvering to cover her ass, being a sore loser even though it was just one point Hadron scored on her. Her criticism of Hadron is accurate. But "i don't reveal stuff about myself to people i don't know or trust" is immediately suspicious (not to mention a convenient "out" from the debate) and makes one wonder what she wants so badly to hide.
There are a glut of people who come off as whiners and fakers to NT's, but they dont often end up being aired on national television. If you want to invite Ms Baggs to come and debate with me here then I will happily oblige on this issue. Amanda may be reaching people in a positive light, but it is the ignorant masses that I am concerned about, after all they are the main problem, not the ones that can articulate a comment and write it on a website. The majority of NT's that see that video are going to come off with a very negative impression of us as a group of people, if you really want I can test and prove that with a little effort. I am sure Amanda has the best of intentions at heart, but that does not change the impression that average NT's are going to get off it.

Hadron: your ignorant masses don't often get aired on national television either. Who's to say their knee-jerk opinions are more dangerous to an "autistic cause" than the mistaken impression the masses of so-called whiners and fakers are giving?

If you want to debate Amanda Baggs, approach her yourself. You're the one who's concerned with her message, not me. My main concern here is sharpening my teeth in debate, in order to prepare for a completely urelated advocacy phone call I have to make tomorrow.

I have no real idea who she is or how to find her, maybe she is too busy making more of these videos to be found anyway...?
The knee jerk opinions are a problem for the simple number of them, if some of the crackpot schemes autism rights activists got anywhere of the ground alot of us would get daily beating for just walking along the streets...
Anyway, how come you are making an advocasy call tommorow...?

Her blog is here: http://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/ (http://ballastexistenz.autistics.org/). You can reach her by posting comments or by email, which takes the URL, removes the http://, and replaces the first dot with an @.

I don't understand this. What do you mean by "the simple number of them"? The number of who?

I have to convince a health insurance company to provide interim coverage, or at the very least, expedite an application for acceptance of coverage, on behalf of a friend who will be in major trouble if there is an interruption in their health insurance.

I could reach her like that but I tend to prefer public debate on an open forum, just my style.
How many ignorent NT's are there and how many Aspies are there, i kind of skewed that sentence.

More ignorant NT's than aspies, sure, but keep in mind that the average ignorant NT doesn't give a flying fuck about autism. Sure, they might spend a few minutes sniggering at the "retard", but then they'll go on with their lives without exerting a major influence on society. Nothing an organized political campaign can't change. One of the things political figureheads have to accept is that not everybody is going to like or understand their message.

That's actually not a bad last-resort idea (though it would take long enough that the trouble couldn't be avoided anyway). Would they offer healthcare even to a non-citizen?

Sure, the downside is I dont know her so she is unlikely to come here if I ask her. Even less likely as I have a total desire to remain anonimous. If she were to turn up here then i would debate it with her...
That is the way it is at the minute, but if society is changed so NT's do give a fuck about autism then aspie bashing would become a sport. Thats obviously somewhere I would like to avoid happening. Also bare in mind that NT's make decisions about us, if they think we are all retards when making this decisions then HFA people are going to be totally ignored in any form of help / assistance.
As for your friends healthcare, the simple answer is I do not know. There does seem to be alot of outraged articles in the Daily Mail about foreigners milking our health system though...

Hm. Last time I checked, aspie bashing was already a sport, people just don't know that the "losers" and "freaks" they're beating up have a diagnosable condition. I'm not sure that them adding the label to their retinue of insults would increase the number of people being fucked with.

Also bare in mind that NT's make decisions about us, if they think we are all retards when making this decisions then HFA people are going to be totally ignored in any form of help / assistance.
Valid concern, but it goes both ways. If only high-functioning people (and yes I know that term's debatable, but I don't have a better word for it) advocate, then the ones who have more trouble would be just as left out in the cold. I'm in favor of as many people speaking up as possible. Like you said, there are more NT's than autistics. We can't afford to silence our own.

1. True I like to remain private, but I dont pull anything into a debate that I cannot back up within the domains of my privacy. You are right, it constrains my arguement, but I am used to it really, when you pretend to be an NTconstantly then you get well versed in being able to do it.
2. Aspie bashing is a bit of a sport to some people as it is now, but it can always become a more popular one. Particuarly when aspies are given unwelcome publicity, most bullying in schools revolves around what is currently in the media.
3. Certain times it is helpful to silence our own. For example if dear Cho who shot up Virginia Tech was publised as an aspie, then we would have has a big problem on our hands. Same with a large amount of people who currently run things in the world, their are an awful lot of closet aspies in high up positions, many nations are run by them, often in a backdoor manner. If they were forced out of the closet I think people would start to get pretty scared of us, given how much we actually run things in the world, it would be the Jew thing all over again...

I think Lucifer is doing her usual routine of condescension and verbal maneouvering to cover her ass, being a sore loser even though it was just one point Hadron scored on her. Her criticism of Hadron is accurate. But "i don't reveal stuff about myself to people i don't know or trust" is immediately suspicious (not to mention a convenient "out" from the debate) and makes one wonder what she wants so badly to hide.

unfair, pyraxis, as you know full well how private a person i am, and have always been on whichever board i've posted on, and i know you feel the same way - at least in part - yourself.  "a convenient out" etc. is point scoring, and , i thought, beneath you.

Post by: The_P on July 25, 2007, 04:20:09 AM
I think that if Hadron is going to rail against negative representation of an "autistic brand", he would be better off to go after the mass of people who come off as whiners and fakers to NT's. I'm not saying they are whiners and fakers for asking for supports that NT's don't understand the need for. But if they could be taught better advocacy skills, their requests wouldn't be rejected so offhandedly.

Of course, if one is to invest energy in teaching better advocacy skills, there are better ways to do it than ranting about a woman who isn't even here to defend herself. Hadron would be more effective to approach Amanda Baggs in person and offer suggestions on how to improve her message. By simply saying she should shut up if she can't act more "normal", he's effectively taking on the position of the NT's he claims to be fighting.

On the search engines, if you piss someone off that has access to them, basically any millatary person or exceptional computer scientist, they can have so much fun at your expense. Seriously privacy always wears down over time. As for how I know of these search engines, all you have to do is have some computer science background and read between the lines in the news. Have you heard of Echelon and GCHQ. The fact all these systems exist, means they are going to get abused at some point.

It's both point scoring and valid. I really do think it hurts your argument to make vague grandiose claims about yourself ("I may well have saved your life at some point" etc.) and then clam up when asked to elaborate.

As for whether it's beneath me, I made my intentions clear (and at the moment it looks like the insurance mess isn't going to be as bad as I'd feared). I was practising both how to talk down an unreasonable person (Hadron) and challenge somebody I'd normally be wary of (you). I don't have enough practice in debate yet to know whether I'm more effective with attacks like going after your need for privacy, or with flies-and-honey like granting inconsequential points and then illustrating the clarity of my position anyway. Trial run.  :)

I just think you want people to know you are intelligent, which makes it too much of an endeavour for people to actually like you.    The people who like you appreciate arrogant jerks, or are jerks themselves and relate to you.   Then there are your fellow arrogant jerkoffs who are probably hypocritical in their hatred of you.

Eh you try to say it all the damn time, not apply it.   By telling people in not so obvious ways that you are intelligent, you basically debunk your own intelligence in a way.   The way you post doesn't make people underestimate you at all, it makes them think you are full of yourself.    

I am sometimes underestimated in real life, it comes easily when you don't even talk to people.   It depends on the person and whether they assume the worst or best about a person without even knowing them.   They have very little to go on to decide whether I am intelligent or anything else they could estimate about me.   You can underestimate more than just a person's intelligence of course.   It has helped me in the few serious physical fights I have been in much more than any argument on the internet could.

I don't need distraction from the fact that I am a fool.
As to the shadow of my father, I wouldn't trade my
life for his. He is certainly not a particularly good
teacher (though better than I). But, he's lived

i dont taunt people with little things and then clam up when it crosses invisible lines.

sigh...  seeing as how you seem to have some sort of hard on to find out all about me...  ::)

the comment about "saving your life" was to do with the fact that i helped develop the test used to screen blood donors for HIV antibodies.  if you've been given blood or blood products, then they're free from the risk of HIV infection, due, in part, to my work.  if you haven't, then that's why i said "possibly".

i do so hope that's relieved your obsession, and you can ejaculate in peace and get rid of your obvious blue balls over the subject.  ::)

I dont have an opposition whatsoever to people being friends, but Peegai just bums Lucifer to hell, and she pampered him for it.

mummy's gone, little one.  and jealousy will get you nowhere.

here, have this  :-*.  feel better now?
lol, you think I am jealous of peegai....? have you lost it lucifer!?

You open your mouth a good deal Hadron.   Tons of posts that seem to do nothing but make people think you are an arrogant jerkoff.    Peegai obviously sees the majority of your posts as bullshit.   

I just think you want people to know you are intelligent, which makes it too much of an endeavour for people to actually like you.    The people who like you appreciate arrogant jerks, or are jerks themselves and relate to you.   Then there are your fellow arrogant jerkoffs who are probably hypocritical in their hatred of you.
Peegai is lucifers little lapdog, and he is in a mardy because her master has gone. As for being intelligent, yes I sometimes like to apply it, but i dont massively need everyone to know it. What matters is I know how intelligent i am, you would be surprised how helpful being underestimated can be.

That is not true.  Being friends with someone does not make either of them the other's lapdog.

I understand well the positives and negatives of having one's intelligence underestimated.

This is what I don't understand.  You value your privacy and I completely respect this.  Why do you not understand why other people would value their privacy just as much as you do?
True being friends with people doesnt make lapdogging occur, but if you look at the way peegai unswervingly sticks up for lucifer all the time it makes you wonder..
I do value my privacy, but then i dont taunt people with little things and then clam up when it crosses invisible lines.

But you probably do, from some people's points-of-view.  I probably do too, even though I don't intend to.  I have certain things about myself I feel the need to keep private, and I feel very uncomfortable talking about them.

Though not for me, I like this question,
and wish to answer it. Because it was
a terrible realization when the time came
that I saw I'd not be anything all that impressive.
One lowers their hopes. That's why I went to
grad school.

As to those on this board, I've not seen any signs
that there is anything fundamentally that impressive
about any of us. Kinda makes sense. Someone doing
something REALLY impressive simply wouldn't have the
time to postwhore.

I can't either, being content with my life sucking would get me more depressed.   Me being too lazy to do something significant enough to change things is a different subject entirely.   I have dreams and aspirations, but they go away when I am really depressed due to examining how I live my life.

No, actaully i was trying to find out the lifestyles of academic aspies. Just as i might end up on that track, so i wanted to see future problems and avoid them before they happen.

Apart from you could technically do me for harrassment if i found you out to the level of depth you are expecting me to do, i would be safe legally

On the matter of the quote, it takes a quick trawl if you have the right tools, but i dont have anything specialist to hand. So it would take longer for me to do some of the stuff by hand, that a specialist bit of a equipment could do for me.

Don't they offer Humility Suppositories for that, somewhere?

Thanks, but you're the funniest man alive. I just skip rocks across your pond.

Apart from you could technically do me for harrassment if i found you out to the level of depth you are expecting me to do, i would be safe legally

then why bring up the legal reasons as an excuse?  bottle job.

As for the age card, i am just arguing from your perspective, if thats how you view me then it is an important part of the arguement dont you think.

nope.  there are plenty of people your age who can put together an argument without bottling out.

Quote
On the matter of the quote, it takes a quick trawl if you have the right tools, but i dont have anything specialist to hand. So it would take longer for me to do some of the stuff by hand, that a specialist bit of a equipment could do for me.

fuckme - can you backpedal any faster?  your legs must be a blur.

Quote
And you are still a bully, i see you couldnt counter that one. Your post misses the post. And again, it wasnt me who gheyed you.

you feel bullied?  shame - i haven't even tried to bully you yet.  calling for mummy again?

bottle job.

Oh i dont feel bullied, surprisingly i havent turned my tail and ran yet. But what you seem to do to others on this forum is pretty low, like attacking someone like richard in that way. if you want a fair fight with someone why dont you just challenge myself or calandale in open one on one debate. The point is you seem to think so low of me, but yet you are taking me on. That technically makes you a bully. Unless you address that, then i am going to have to assume you are a bully.

yay!  just as i suspected - bottle job!

you're so predictable, young 'un.


Seriously, what would you do if i actually found you.

i'd be impressed.  i've tried to do it, and i can't find myself.

Quote
My guess is you would utterly shit yourself, and probably lie even if i get the right answer.

wrong and wrong.  why would i want to do either?

Quote
Wouldnt me actually doing it be a step too far.

why suggest it, then?  bottle job.

Quote
You didnt figure out my reason for playing games though, did you?

procrastination.  bottle job.

i'll just add "coward" to your list of "attributes", shall i?
If you think so little of me why do you try to pan me in arguements. Surely you would like to have a fair fight with someone. Either you secretly respect me a little or you are an out and out bully. Which is it going to be?

neither.  this is Intensity.  you get called on your words.  get used to it, noob.

and you're still trying to squirm out of your bottle job.  nice try, but no cigar.
Of course i get called on my words, but it seems to be you and your lapdog percisitently doing it. You have another motive, and you seem to get off on beating 18 year olds in arguements. I am going to assume you are a bully unless you give me an alterior motive.
As for the bottle job, i could find you, it takes lots of effort, and then of course then there are legal risks in me doing so. It would be possible however.


why are you playing the age card, when you were so scathing about what you saw as me doing that?

the word is "Ulterior".

it'd take lots of effort?  i quote:

Or maybe I know, and was just testing ideas. I have enough information to find all about you with a short trawl of the internet

from about an hour and 20 mins ago.  (ref:  http://www.intensitysquared.com/index.php?topic=4757.msg219706#msg219706 )

legal risks?  :LMAO:  oh, the excuses are coming thick and fast, now.  bottle job.

Oh, taking on someone who claims to have an IQ of around 85 is not pathetic (i skimmed a few threads before i came here), then i really dont know what is. There was very different ways you could have handled the situation. Why do that to him.
Calandale would be a fair fight, as would be myself if you dont keep playing guerilla with your arguements.
I would say your behavior fits this definition nicely "In colloquial speech, bullying often describes a form of harassment perpetrated by an abuser who possesses more physical and/or social power and dominance than the victim. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target. The harassment can be verbal, physical and/or emotional." You certianly believe you are better than your targets dont you. As for reading my posts, they seem to be well presented absences of answers, rather than something meaningful.
As for you wanting me to go away, as tesla raised, why turn up and attack me on a thread if you dont want to deal with me. Which way are you going to have it?

If I did find this out, then you are royally screwed arent you lucifer. One thing, if i do find you, it goes on public forum. But if you are so sure that i cant, then that wont be a problem, right?

You know, that is a really nasty thing to say, Hadron. 

How would you feel if Lucifer said that if she found out any personal information about you, then she would post it on a public forum?

Her privacy is just as important to her as your privacy is to you.  Don't you understand this?

unfair, pyraxis, as you know full well how private a person i am, and have always been on whichever board i've posted on, and i know you feel the same way - at least in part - yourself.  "a convenient out" etc. is point scoring, and , i thought, beneath you.

It's both point scoring and valid. I really do think it hurts your argument to make vague grandiose claims about yourself ("I may well have saved your life at some point" etc.) and then clam up when asked to elaborate.

fair point.

Quote
As for whether it's beneath me, I made my intentions clear (and at the moment it looks like the insurance mess isn't going to be as bad as I'd feared). I was practising both how to talk down an unreasonable person (Hadron) and challenge somebody I'd normally be wary of (you). I don't have enough practice in debate yet to know whether I'm more effective with attacks like going after your need for privacy, or with flies-and-honey like granting inconsequential points and then illustrating the clarity of my position anyway. Trial run.  :)

bollocks.  why do you always back down, or find clever (but unconvincing) excuses when challenged?  instead of your usual underhand methods, why don't you actually engage someone in an upfront debate?

as for the "oh, i make my intentions clear about using people as guinea pigs" twaddle, no, you don't.  especially not to people with AS.

What exactly are you challenging me on?

Whether it's beneath me or not?

Whether I make my intentions clear?

I thought I had - what part is unclear? What might be clearer for a person with AS?

i'm challenging you on three points:

1.  why you back down when you call someone (me, often) on something, and then retreat when they (i) respond assertively, as opposed to defensively.

2.  why you claim to be transparent in your motives, when you're anything but (until after the event), and a lot of people with AS (sometimes including manipulative headfuckites like myself) wouldn't know your intentions unless you state them clearly, before, not afterwards.

3.  why do you not actually engage people in an upfront debate, rather than guerilla tactics, and "mea cupla, that's all i was doing" tactics when your challenge is responded to.

1.  why you back down when you call someone (me, often) on something, and then retreat when they (i) respond assertively, as opposed to defensively.
Cause it's much more fun to go after people acting like posturing pricks than people defending themselves well over potentially valid points. I'll attack someone acting assertive if their point is something I seriously disagree with, but that takes it out of the realm of entertaining sparring match and into real debate. For real debate, I'm be much more interested in the information exchange than the petty insults, so I try to cut through the bullshit. Besides, I like assertiveness and want to encourage it.

2.  why you claim to be transparent in your motives, when you're anything but (until after the event), and a lot of people with AS (sometimes including manipulative headfuckites like myself) wouldn't know your intentions unless you state them clearly, before, not afterwards.
It's situational. In this particular case of the guinea pigs, I was being transparent. That doesn't mean I'm always transparent. Most of the time I have more than one motivation for the things I do, and it would take way too much time to explain them all (not to mention I'd bore people to tears).
Besides, Dawg had a good point - if I had explained everything beforehand, I wouldn't have been able to get the debate practice.

3.  why do you not actually engage people in an upfront debate, rather than guerilla tactics, and "mea cupla, that's all i was doing" tactics when your challenge is responded to.
I do, over things I care about (which has included plenty of site policy decisions in the past; haven't you seen that?) - unless it's some sensitive personal issue, where I'd get too emotional if I were direct.

Hadron - #2 applies to Lucifer too, the way she presents herself on other sites.

I'm banned from WP, but if you really felt like hunting through the archives there, it's all about caring-and-supportive mentor Vetivert, not manipulative mindfuck Lucifer. There's probably some stuff on On the Spectrum as well. The contradiction can be hard to spot, because I've never heard her come out and say directly that her motivations are transparent, it's more of an overall tone. Whatever the online equivalent of body language and voice intonation is.

Hmm, i could search for her, i have a duff acc that I never posted with there. You do know she is an utterly miserable person, otherwise she wouldnt get a kick out of trying to beat me in an arguement (someone who she considers utterly inferior to herself).

Exactly. The difference being that I and a number of others here have far more information available with which to form that opinion. People are more complex than you seem to appreciate and it is perfectly possible to behave in different ways in different settings - its called appropriate behaviour. I would not respond to my children in the same way I would to an alleged adult, or to a vulnerable person seeking advice. Context is also important.

Either way, you're arguing from a position of ignorance. So shut the fuck up.

oh no, sorry, he couldn't - kosmo pointed that out a couple of days ago.  but then, that's what an Oxford education does for you.

get over it, hadron.  i'm quite willing to engage with you, as you obviously have a brain, if only you'd just stop having to be so bloody superior (and admit your limitations - a sign of maturity) the whole time.

Does it not occur to you that people only allow a very limited part of themselves to be seen publicly online, yet with close friends they allow more of themselves to show?  Do you know anything about all the shit that was happening at WP when many of us were members?
Surprisingly I kept an eye on wrong planet for quite a while, i just did not post there because of the fact that too many people were utterly suicidal for my liking. I am sure she has a different persona in person, but the persona i get to see is the online one, and thats the one i have to deal with.

So you've had this amazing ability to see people's real character and even to read what was going on in a private admin forum, on IM, email, etc for the past 3 years have you?

Fine, we can drop it, if you are willing to engage with me in a non-patronisng manner then I can get on with you. As for the Oxford story there is well more to it then me getting rejected, if you are really intrested then PM me. I have a feeling you would have been as equally pissed off with them as I am with them if you were there.

I could infer most of it from the forums, or what I read of them. It didnt seem very pleasent, hence I chose not to post there. My ability to read character has worked very well on NT's largely over the years, put it like this any that shit on me from too high got what was coming to them, and i used character assessments to plan and then implement.

i wouldn't ask you to post it publicly - you know how i feel about that sort of thing.  if you want to offload, then do so - you know how to PM.

as for the ISP thing: posting directly after someone, regularly and frequently, is a bit of a giveaway, especially in threads you're not engaged in, or haven't been, before.

I assume that was referring to both parties antagonising Lucifer?
Sounded like it was aimed more at Hadron than me, but Dunc can correct me if I'm wrong.

old news, pyraxis: it's all been said before - and a lot better mind you - by the likes of McJ, eammon, and the rest of the (then) lynch mob.  (apologies, chaps, as we've managed to get over it now).
Do you mean the mess when Intensity 1 went down and people blamed it on you? I don't know what connections you're trying to make here, but I hadn't said anything about that. Aside from the bit to Hadron, all I'd said about you was that unsubstantiated claims were poor argument, and I thought we resolved that pages ago. Defensive much? You're not quite as over it as you'd like to pretend, if you're seeing it everywhere.

I said to Hadron that you acted differently on WP/OTS than here, I didn't say that it was news to everyone. Hadron, just like Dunc pointed out, doesn't know you from Adam.

and nice to see your sweetie on here this afternoon, to give you advice on what to say.  at least i don't go running off crying to mummy when i'm challenged.
No, you just go running off period.
Actually, he hasn't even read this thread. I haven't asked for any advice from him about this argument, and he hasn't offered any. I imagine that he would find your assumptions as entertaining as I do, though.

Quote from: Hadron
I was merely defending Pyraxis.

What, exactly, are you going to add? Just so you know that I agree with A.B. What I don't like are people who are misinterpreting what her actual intentions are concerning those two video links I've recently posted here.

And why do people make these assumptions that she has inherited "one of the purest communications from God"? Religious fuckwits... She is not glorifying her real-life behaviour.
I dont give a rats arse what her intentions are, look at what she has done. Do you want every NT to think that we are bouncing idiots! I assume not. Why does she feel the need to make these idiotic videos that do nothing to further our cause, in fact they send it sky rocketing backwords.
As for editing the article, when i sober up i may have some fun with it, i should have some ideas by the morning...

you supercilious little cunt.  you have absolutely no idea about that woman's life - it's nothing to you but something to "have fun with".

no-one has to justify anything to you, and especially not when every time you open your pathetic mouth, all you can do is make yourself look more like what you are - someone who's been educated beyond their intelligence.

do youself a favour and fuck off until you've learned some basic manners, apart from anything else.

 :minus:

edit: in fact, i'll go so far as to say, have a mirror, and may it all come back on you threefold.  you are disgusting.
I am disgusting am i Lucifer, takes one to know one...
I have an idea about her life, the fact is unless she wants to be in the next video of Autism Speaks, she should gain a knowledge of PR. As we happen to share the same brand, i think she needs to be wiser with it. Think how the NT's are going to look at it, for christs sake. She has just provided them with a perfect oppotunity. You do understand PR Lucifer, she has just totally humilated herself, and us! As for me being educated beyond my intelligence, prove it. Why are you getting so offended by me being rational Lucifer.

if it took her 25 yrs to learn to blow her nose... i think youre gonna have to wait for her video summing up the PR agenda

you are just proving her point on how people expect you to think like (and for) people as a group in whole... and when you dont... you get shat on be people like you

Post by: Walkie on July 31, 2007, 04:33:12 PM
This thread inspired me (if that’s the right word) to look at the video itself. Sadly, the excruciatingly slow, expensive  connection wasn’t up to loading more than a minute-or-so, but I did  read the comment, every one of them (995, last time I looked) and those comments convinced me that she’s actually done a brilliant PR job for autistics, whether or not she intended it as such.

Yeah, a handful of idiots made some really insulting comments, of course; and they received such thoughtful and patient answers that one of them did a U-turn., on the spot.. Here are some quotes:


MGthemes
OMG why don't you just talk.. You can talk, why are you superior to normal humans? You are normal, run a treadmill, get a life, and stop being retarded, i used to make fun of people like you at school.

silentmiaow:
You say, "i used to make fun of people like you at school."
Yeah, it shows. It's not something to be proud of. And being able to physically create words with my mouth is not the same as being able to make them mean what I want them to mean, or else, yes, I'd talk. And I'm not superior to anyone. Not that you actually care about my answer.

MGthemes:
Yea, i care about your replay, and i just dont understand hwo your so smart, and you cant talk. You can type, and comprehend normally, and you can humm meaningless stuff, and finger a stream of water, but you cant talk?

silentmiaow:
Intelligence and speech aren't particularly related, that's how. In fact, when I recently demonstrated for a researcher exactly which things I can and can't do in that regard, she actually knew the exact parts of my brain that must be working differently (apparently this pattern is a known thing).

MGthemes:
Sorry. I am starting to feel self concious about my actions. So theres never gunna be a way for you to talk? Except a voice machine?

silentmiaow:
I used to talk better than I do now, it's possible I might again, but I'm not really holding my breath (and given that I have a better means of communicating than even my best speech I don't really mind).

MGthemes:

Yea, you just gotta hang in there, and just think, at least your not retarded. You have the ability to think, and you are smarter than your average person

silentmiaow:
I don't really tend to hang around being grateful I'm not someone else, because it's kind of insulting to the someone else. You underestimate people with intellectual disabilities.

Sneech2:
"at least you're not retarded"? I think you missed the greater point of this video. The whole point is that all kinds of minds are legitimate, and all ways of thinking are legitimate. Yes, this includes "retarded" minds.

FYI, Hadron, a lot of the people who commented, came to YouTube, after seing a clip of the video on national TV, so I think that blows your theory, doesn’t it? The girl’s had a whole more coverage than you thought.

I don’t think it’s at all safe to assume that all those who lack the intelligence or what-have-you to frame a response to video will have a negative perception of it. If you can provide some convincing evidence of that, please provide it. But if you’re forced to back up your theory by retreating into the realms of the unknown, then guessing that those realms would yield contradictory results…well, heck, do you really expect us to take it seriously on that “evidence”? And, no, I really don’t believe that the option of the inarticulate counts for more than the opinion of the articulate, or else that’s millenia of political oratory wasted, isn’t it?

The fact is that articulate people have a whole lot more influence than inarticulate people (which is another thing that Amanda Baggs demonstrated with this video, btw). They might mis-use their influence, but they certainly have it. And yeah, some of the curebies might mis-use this video, if they’re desperate. But it’s not as of they’re short of ammunitio, is it? More significantly, it might actually  make some of those people think twice.

Btw, here’s another of my favourite parts:

“I hope you will be autistic some day , let's see if you think the same as you do now

You have to realise that the people with autism are the most genuine, sweetest and honest people on the planet, those are the real humans
The rest (like me and you) are just monsters who argue about everything, and how do you start a war ? yes it starts with argue”

silentmiaow:
I don't think we're all that idealized versions of people either, at least I wouldn't think so after hanging out around enough of us. ;-)


Yeah, she’s obviously been over here, huh?  :evillaugh:

I did not read all the comments for this video, but I saw another video where Amanda talks about people in school physically jumping on her hard as she lay on the floor because they knew that she would not respond.  It made me wonder why the teachers would permit this to happen.  Maybe they thought her lack of communication meant that she didn't feel it?

Walkie's here!

Hi Walkie!

Hiya Callaway!

They probably did it when the teachers weren't looking. Interestingly, a group of girls at my school physically bullied me for the same reason- i was friustratingly unresponsive (actually, i was scared that i'd hurt people if i did respond, 'cause the things they were doing really made me see red. also ; also i was trying to figure out where they were coming from, 'cause they weren't your typical bullying types at all) When i finally let fly at them (a conscious decision) they were relieved to discover i was "human" after all, and they were nice to me ever after. Crazy fricking neurotypicals, huh? If i'd only known that they were after a response i'd have dug my nails into the ringleaders neck right away.

But this off-topic really isn't it?

Anyway, (to get even further off-topic.)Don't mention to the guys on Fractalus that you saw me here  , huh? I'm planning yet another grand return, as soon as I get a decent internet connection sorted (which should be any time now,though  i'm losing faith). Right now I'm just being self-indulgent, for a change (erm...irony). Can't afford to even look at Fractalus, in case it sucks me in.

*grin*

see ya soon,

Walkie

(Ooh my karma just went up! Thanks! Not that i care, of course. )

Don't worry, Walkie.  I won't say a word.  I'm just so excited to see you.  I hope you can get better internet service soon.

I was bullied in school when the teacher wasn't looking too.  I think that the bullies were looking for me to hit back too, because it got better after I did.

But Amanda's bullying was so much worse, I wonder how the teachers could not have noticed it.

What I thought was run-of-the mill everyone-gets-bullied-like-this bullying was actually not, as I found out years later. So this is why I think more people get bullied like Amanda did but because their story is not told, no-one knows.

the thing is that some good can come from an unmoderated debate.  dalling it a flame war is implying that it is bad, or wrong.  it isn't here.  it does not violate any TOS, and it is encouraged.
though, senseless flaming will probably be returned, tenfold.
