It seems like more and more there are threads placed on the WP that try to evoke arguments and/or anxiety and stress. I just surveyed the general autism discussion and the members only areas and found approximately 25% of the thread topics on page 1 of these areas (about 40 threads) evoked this. Some of these seem to invite argument and are rooted in people's personal beliefs. Then, if a person stands behind their belief in these areas, they are blasted at by other members. Many of these threads appear to me to be for the sake of trolling and causing disruption among us.
I believe the WP was set up as a support site and a place for us with autism to learn from each other. I just hate to see the increasing trend in threads that appear to want invite argument and/or hurt feelings. Anyway, that is my rant for tonight.
Indeed!
I had made some disturbing discoveries over the past month and a half, which morally forced me to confront a bad situation head on.
This was yesterday, early in the morning, in the General Autism Discusion.
I felt I had to stand up and say what I knew about the situation and hopefully put an end to something that should NOT of been allowed to EXIST on WrongPlanet.net to TARGET us members, in the first place.
The situation had become extremely distressing for me but after I stated what I knew, I felt a tremendous relief.
Now, maybe I'm not so popular but I can look at myself in the mirror and feel great about who I am and careless about popularity.
I love WrongPlanet, it's a wonderful website which I hope and wish for the best.
This is my rant!
