The Dino-Aspie Ex-Café (for Those 40+... or feeling creaky)

Ah-HA! A figment! We may need to include you in future research as to whether or nor autistic genius figments are dyslexic.

I'm not here, remember?

Will it cut into my billion if I admit I just cut and pasted the Welsh Gaelic phrase, because I was pretty sure I couldn't type that without stretching first?

...Chuck, I do not mind if there is some feeling against NT's here; in fact I can understand it. AND I know Jim would disapprove of my signature. AND I am being nasty. AND you are right that it could stir something up. So I will remove it in a few days. AND (taking a breath) you are a wonderful role model for us. AND if I feel bad I am doing the wrong thing...

nannarob! Please don't ever feel uncomfortable on my account! Just be yourself! And your husband is away - here's your opportunity! (just kidding). I love you no matter what you are feeling! Even anger. If you want to show (a certain unnamed non-cafe' participant) you were offended by her offensive words let her know it! Or at least a moderator know it. Probably best not to tell her directly - I saw how she went after Cosmiccat. You don't have to take flaming from her any more than she has to take it from you. (It's somewhere in the Bylaws of the Wolf Pack). I realize you probably feel that we should be given the opportunity to vent mistreatment and misunderstanding by NTs while here on Wrong Planet, but venting directed at one person directly (you) is strictly prohibited. I don't know what it was that you said, but I do know you, and I doubt you said anything offensive at all. Much less directed at any one person specifically.

I certainly am not the moral compass. Look how many times I have screwed up. Whoa! When I do, people let me know. I apologize, learn, and move on. You are your own moral compass, and will do and have done a much better job than I ever will. I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable! I was just afraid that if you carried the unfortunate words that were directed at you as your signature, they might foster that type of thinking in others. And I'd hate to see that nonsense spread
Your fan,
Chuck

well, let's see what might also be going on here. There was a religious group that splintered off from the church of England because they wanted to blend scientific principle to religion and they were taunted as having a method to Christianity. That method brought them to the new world and established their place as early America's clergy in the North East of the 13 british colonies in the early founding when England recalled all the clergy from the Church Of England and the that splinter group with the method stayed as a revolutionary act against the crown. The early U.S didn't fail because they had their church sacrements and weren't dependent on COE. Their nickname that was supposed to ridicule formed the name we know them as now the "Methodists".

I hear the same thing happened with the Friends Church, because they used to have a lot of movement in their ritual and they "Quaked before the Lord", they became known as the Quakers and they embraced the Quaker name

so when someone hangs a moniker on you, sometimes you can wear it proudly and make it your own, never to have anyone discover too late where you stand on the question "where are you on the spectrum?"
love you, nannaRobyn...

I forget to say, Godwit, that I am an ex teacher. I have 'the glare' and have often scared the socks off people even though I'm not even aware of them. So be very scared...and behave!

Robyn

He can't see you, get behind him and whipser the answer, "blue".

"She's identified as NT, what can you expect. I thought it was inappropriate but that's NT's for you."

Robyn, I have no idea about the history of this phrase, but you seem incredibly sensitive, patient and kind to Aspies. I mean you've done that with me, and I would try the patience of Job. So, if you do try to keep us in line every once in a while, that's fine with me. And I don't know why anybody would disagree with my sense of you. And I think Chuck feels the same way. But if anybody wants to disagree, they can.

Robyn, I think you are really sweet.

But, Robyn, please, when you do come after me, and it's bound to happen, just don't make me wet my pants, I'm begging you, OK? I bet you could be REALLY, REALLY scary. Sort of like almost everyone else is. Well, at least to me.

Now, Chuck, you seem like a really nice guy, sort of like Alan (the Older) and Lau are. And I know that you know that there are a heck of a lot of wonderful NT's in this world, a lot of NT jerks, and some wonderful Aspies anf some very, very, very scary Aspies. And I think Robyn would agree.

Chuck, I think you are really sweet.

So, Chuck, please, when you do come after me, and it's bound to happen, just don't make me wet my pants, I'm begging you, OK? I bet you could be REALLY, REALLY scary. Sort of like almost everyone else is . . .
