So you're basically bullying Tumble Tower in order to feel better about yourself.

'I might be Aspergic, but at least I'm not as bad as that freak!!'

Jeez.

I thought you approved of the bullying?

I can remember speculating that another member might be Autistic at some point last year and I got the book thrown at me and my post deleted. A decision that, nowadays, I would agree with.

Why hasn't TG's attack on TT been handled in the same way?

[TG]

I can easily withdraw that suggestion and just call him a twat, if you'd prefer.

Ok.

[TG]

Furry nuff.

TT is a twat and they really need to stop indulging him over there.

Nobody could be that fucking weird - he's trying it on.


Happy?

I'm afraid I don't quite understand that logic. How is it acceptable for TG to call Tumble a twat but not acceptable for him to speculate as to whether he may have mental health issues? Personally, I found neither comment that TG made particularly offensive.

I'll be honest, I'm not aware of this so called 'book throwing' that you have experienced Chie but I really don't see any issue with what has been said so far.

I'm sure he's not trying it on, I have a very close friend who is pretty autistic who used to write emails just like the posts he makes. He'd have no comprehension of every ones annoyance of getting his long and strange descriptive emails and that people would think they were strange at all.

[TG]

I know similar people - however, once told far less times than TT has been, they learned to recognise just a few of the things that came across as odd to others. Also, they did not entirely ignore any and all arguments put to them, as TT does.

Something really doesn't ring quite true about it just being anything like was suggested earlier in this thread. There's an element of sheer bloody awkwardness and weirdness to TT on top of it.

My boyfriend is ever so slightly on the autistic scale - and judging by what child psychologists had to say about ME once upon a time, so am I.

Your point being?

My point being that he's not the only damn person in the world with any kind of disorder. I don't hold with people apologising constantly for people with disorders and such, as if they are NEVER responsible for anything they do or say. Aspergers, I can cope with just fine in somebody.

You CLEARLY have NO idea exactly HOW Aspergers and the autistic spectrum in general affects people.

They aren't all the same. Sometimes, they aren't responsible for anything. They don't understand why they have to be quiet, why they have to accept things and they can't understand it and they never will understand it. Would you yell at a blind man for pushing into you? Would you tell an old man off for walking too slowly up some steps? No you wouldn't. Your problem is you lack understanding of Autistic Spectrum Disorders and how they vary from person to person and you think Tumble can just change, well Newsflash for you - he won't. Just because you think you are on the Autistic Spectrum doesn't make it any more acceptable either, the fact is you have actually discriminated against him.

I understand perfectly well, boy.

I just don't seek to indulge anyone any more than they deserve.

Why bring him up at all? If people choose to respond to him that's up to them.

Don't call me boy. I doubt you understand as you wouldn't have said anything. You'd have been tolerant.
