You used a particularly-vile, pointless insult using the infamous F-bomb. You will notice that I do not use such language in this forum. I wish that you would apologize for using it, as much for its pointlessness as for its offense. I have known of sites that expel posters for such. Surely you will remember what I did to kia 67 when he urged someone to commit suicide. Such is not a vendetta; such is basic decency. I may not be the nicest person in existence, but I recognize the desirability of treating people humanely. It does more good and causes less pain.
The bold-faced you specifically means Classic X'er. I rarely discuss posters, but in this case such is necessary.
I have no desire to replace Old Glory. Forty-eight stars and thirteen stripes marched into Dachau and Mauthausen, signaling the end to some of the most shameful things that people have ever done to others. Old Glory marched with people who sought to end segregation in the South. That flag ideally stands for what is best in our character as a People. I simply want it to stand for such again, and I do not want it shamed with evil deeds of our leaders.
I am KIA 67. So, I am aware of what you did to KIA 67 and so is the moderator of this site. The F-bomb was not pointless, the F-bomb was directed a Bob for a valid reason which most if not all regular folks would recognize/see and understand and not have an issue with the way it was used at all. Unless you're name is Bob, I suggest that you learn how to keep your nose in your own business.
Even the F-bomb has legitimate uses, as in reportage. It is common in people with Tourette's syndrome and among mobsters, and among people who have miserable tasks that they cannot get out of (as is commonly so with soldiers who do make-work just to show how efficient their superiors are). It's like racial slurs: I would expect Ku Kluxers to rhyme the name of Roy Rogers' horse very often.
Quote:You're special, you have illness that requires special treatment and special rules and a special environment for you to function in without being set off or hurt emotionally that results with you doing something foolish to yourself or others. Well, you are breaking rules or ignoring sound advice from your doctor or trained professionals associated with your care. What are you doing here?
We are all special lest we be robots, and I would rather be special in some way different from how I am different. Of course, I would rather have Asperger's than many other mental disorders, including low intelligence, sociopathic or psychopathic disorders, borderline personality, pathological narcissism, sexual perversion, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, punch-drunk syndrome, chemical dependency, or delusional conditions. i simply express myself the wrong way in certain conditions.
I have received no advice to stay away from these Forums from any trained professional in mental health. As far as the treatment that I have gotten for Asperger's a therapist and I concluded that I need to learn to get away with it so that I can have as normal a life as possible.
Quote:If I owned this site, do you think you'd be able to remain posting here? Nope! I wouldn't want the liability of you being around here or places like these. So, we have an issue here. So, unless you're lying which is a possibility here as well. You should consider yourself as having been placed on notice and consider your time posting here as limited.
Would I post here if the forum fit your ideology? F--- no!
Quote:1. Cuss words. Different strokes for different folks. I work in a blue collar job. Such words are normal in daily discourse. It's also not a good idea to nag folks about them either.
I well know the pattern. Blue-collar workers typically have less formal education than white-collar workers even if the white-collar workers have low-paying jobs. We do not expect the f-bomb from people dressed up like an executive even if that well-dressed person is earning close to the minimum wage. The fellow working in an auto body shop may be more intelligent and make more money, and have even more formal training, hut the fellow who works in an auto body shop is more likely to do something that causes him some physical pain -- like falling because he just stepped on an oily patch, getting hit by a hammer on the rebound, or straining a muscle.
Well-educated people have a wide variety of deprecatory words and typically makes fine distinctions between such words. So I concur that it is pointless to make a distinction of social class that includes access to higher education.
Quote:2. |Aspergers. Well, there are 2 folks who have this where I work as well and they cuss, fwiw. As far as I know folks with this condition are not a threat to anyone because of said condition. I even have a relative who has it. None of them gives me any discomfort anyway.
Many people find out after a short time that they want no intimate involvement with me. What would be different about me if I didn't have Asperger's? Probably much more intimacy in life. Considering that a child who gets a double dose from father and mother can have a thoroughly miserable life that includes institutionalization. Maybe it is good that I never latched onto women when I was young.
Quote:3. Issues from the old forum. I can't adjudicate these that arose on the old forum because although I was on the old forum, I was not a moderator or had any special information about what was going on. Since that stuff didn't involve me, I just ignored the whole thing.
Fine.
Quote:4. If this thread doesn't calm down, I'm going to close it. After all, I don't get paid anything and emotion laden personal issues are a fucking pain in the ass.
That is entirely your prerogative, as you are the threadmaster. This thread has gone far off topic anyway.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
