I never know who’s side to take when an argument of that sort kicks off.


I just pick the side that looks more fun. Sadly, it's usually the wrong side.

I wish this forum had a "I read this and acknowledge it" button on posts. :P

Hi Quixotic, I for one would be sad to see you go. Your posts are always thoughtful and considerate and that's pretty rare round here.
I can relate to how you feel about not getting a lot of echo to something I had hoped would be useful, or helpful, or at least shed some light. Mind you, I also seem to have managed to upset various individuals with my posts. I'm NT and tend to make this clear, and for some people that's the equivalent of a red rag it would appear. So not all echo is good echo.
In that sense, WP is like a smaller version of the real world, which is what you seem to feel, if for slightly different reasons.
What I get out of it- initially I mostly tried to find information that would enable me to learn to deal better with a very good friend. And that is totally working. In posting I've "met" a few posters Whose posts practically always help me or cheer me up, and I feel it is worth sticking around and putting up with the odd bit of abuse in order to be able to continue to communicate with those posters, or even just read what they have to say.
So I hope you'll change your mind or at least not totally disappear.

Hello readingbetweenlines,
It is good to know I come across as thoughtful and considerate as this is how I have tried to be. I did wonder whether perhaps this wasn’t coming across to others. For the record, since rejoining WP I have recognised a great deal of warmth and compassion in your posts and found what you have to say extremely well considered.
You are here for the right reasons and so if you’re getting bad echo simply because of your NT status, then whoever is doing it should be ashamed of themselves.

I may pop my head in from time to time to check up on you all.
Take care.
P.S I do hope the smiley aren't too distracting; I may have gone a little overboard.


The smilies were great but caused some technical hitch with my reply (may just be a problem with my phone.)

I hope you find what you are looking for.

And I really hope you do look in on us in WP. You'll be very welcome when you do.
Mind how you go, and have a happy New Year.

Sometimes it does get a bit lonely but it's best not to take it personally :)
