    I'm aware that I'm not the easiest person to get on with, and I make no attempt to deflect the blame for that. However, I'm at least relatively stable, and from your eagerness to jump down my throat I'm not convinced the same is true of you.

    Hey, I have friends, I just wouldn't introduce them to people like you. That's the sort of thing I save for my enemies.

    I would go on, but you didn't really give me much material. Let's have a nice, long, incoherent rant this time, so there's plenty for me to fisk. Keep 'em coming!

    Question to the rest, should I follow up with another post dissecting his spelling, punctuation and grammar?

    Point 1 - You accuse others jumping at people , but seem to think that it is ok for you to do it.

    Point 2 - I don`t think many people would like to meet you, or your friends, especially if they are like you.

    Point 3 - You try to bait other people, yet accuse others of doing it.

    Point 4 - You criticise peoples spelling, but you do not like criticism, anyway I doubt that anyone would want a lesson from you on anything, for that implies that you are someone worth listening to and that you have something worth teaching, I personally would hate a lesson in manners and personal interaction from you.

    Therefore I too am out:p:p:p:p:p

    This is the first off topic thread he's posted in for ages so I think saying he's just here to troll is a bit harsh.

    ....think about that for a little while......and how a first post in ages should be constructed if you'd like to be 'welcomed back' to share your thoughts with others.

    Generally attacking people isn't the way to do it and would be viewed as trolling.

    His contributions as earlier mentioned to 'the scene' don't mean diddly squat in this forum....as our BS rambling doesn't mean diddly squat in the development forum.

    Please nerds, keep your nerdery to the correct forum or we might have to invade yours.

    Again I point out we were asked 'not so nicely' to stay out of them...we did...so stay out of ours if all you are here to do is troll.

    It's interesting to note that all the recent trouble has been nerd rage.

    I still think the whole bloody chit chat forum should be deleted and people who want to talk crap should go to www.worldoftalkingcrap.org instead.

    But hey, what do I know

    Rubberkeys was banned, why not ban Ay-chip ? He seems to only be here to insult people, troll, and continue to be the same old jerk he used to be. Do we really need this, I doubt that he will change for the better, as you have to learn by past mistakes, not continue them !

    The only person trolling here is whoever dived into a thread that was resolved yesterday with both parties being amicable, and started stirring again...

    I wouldn't go that far in being amicable. There is still two counts of very personal flagrant abuse extant in this thread. It's at an end though as far as I am concerned, because of the typcality of the result.
    I stole it off a space ship.

    Anyone actually reading the thread would know that this was not the case at all, it was clear that kajia was far from comfortable with the situation, and that she was due for more support from her fellow wossers, especially a MOD.
    That was why I spoke out, as replying to a post from the day before has always been allowed before, but you accuse me of of being a troll. A MOD is supposed to be above personal insults and turning a blind eye to obvious carefully worded remarks intended to be insults, thats what a MOD is for, not just for banning people, although I am sure to get banned for challenging your turning a blind eye to insults, and then making comment to wrong people, insinuating that they are in the wrong. You say about Aspergers sufferers not running rings around the doctors, that is probably because they are too busy running rings round you !

    Maybe Kaija shouldn't have dived in and started insulting people with aspergers? We had more complaints about that than we did about AY Chip

    As above with Kaija - nothing was ignored.
    thats what a MOD is for,

    Who are you to decide what the mods are here for? Is it your forum?
    not just for banning people, although I am sure to get banned for challenging your turning a blind eye to insults, and then making comment to wrong people, insinuating that they are in the wrong.

    Again - who are you to decide whether anyone gets banned?

    Yeah - cos my young child is capable of running rings around me

    C'mon people, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and opinions can change and evolve with intelligent, constructive debate. Why does everything get so personal in here if someone expresses their ?own? take, right or wrong? on a subject?

    It?s sad really.

    I can see that everybody still discusses Asperger's

    But it seems to me that people mostly agree, just don't notice it :)

    Kaija:
    Nah, Asbergers is the only psychological diagnosis that annoys me. I travelled with a 'friend' once for about 3 months, and they had professionally diagnosed Asbergers..and after months of studying them, I came to the conclusion that they were a total fraud. then I've met dozens of self-diagnosed sufferers..didn't impress me much either. That's why I got a beef against it. Anything I say ain't gonna change medical practice is it.

    AY Chip
    What really annoys me about the 'clinicalisation' of abnormality is the way it encourages people with these conditions to look upon themselves as somehow unhealthy. Personally I am always extremely careful not to refer to Asperger's as a 'disease', nor use the verb 'to suffer from' in relation to it. It's all very well to quantify deviation from the norm, but the minute you suggest that it's in any way a form of illness, you create serious problems.

    For me they say the same and I would agree with it. It is not an illness like cancer or even generally accepted mental diseases like schizofrenia or Alzheimer disease.

    It's just a lack of some skills, similar in its status to being shy, lazy or careless.

    So people with Asperger's can't be cured but they can be trained :) Maybe a play of words but it seems an important distincion to me.

    And for me:

    - Kaija didn't offend AY chip
    - Ay Chip isn't a troll, he offended Kaija but apologised later

    So it's explained, I hope.
