To be fair to ole' Waterdogs, SpaceCase makes plenty of "look at me I'm wonderful" posts which are just as unreasonable in the overall scheme of things. If she's allowed to go around attention seeking the whole time then it's about time someone admitted that they personally don't find her attractive, cos it puts a bit of perspective back. Admittedly it's harsh but then if you deliberately seek attention the whole time not all of it will be positive. At least Waterdogs has the guts to be honest, even though he knows it'll be unpopular. I salute him for that even if his post could have been more subtle.
Know what you mean about the smileys, Graelwyn, it's really annoying!
They did not say they personally don't find her attractive. It was tactless. It was like the difference between what Aspie_for_the_Lord said about me and what Tequila said about me. Waterdogs made a rude blunt statement. I take it you aren't one of the aspies that was bullied in school? (Oh, someone is something I do not like... lets say mean things to hurt them!)
Anyone that condones someone critisizing someones looks in public is pathetic.
It should
Not Matter whether someone wants attention of not. It was rude and nasty.
Yeah, I know this. But maybe Waterdogs has some issues too? By jumping on his back rather than just shrugging it off you could be making things much, much worse. It certainly doesn't seem to have done any good - he's just angry and confused now. It's laughable that you think criticising SpaceCase's looks in public is pathetic but you're quite prepared to destroy Richard's character in public and somehow that is ok?
I honestly believe that Waterdogs often just posts the first thing that comes into his head, and doesn't always understand what the reaction will be. This is a symptom of AS, as is responding badly to criticism. I don't think he should have been so rude but I do think he has a right to his opinion. Not everyone will like everyone else. At least he is honest enough to admit this, whereas most people are far too polite (and consequently, liars). SpaceCase's image seems to be in the public domain here on WP quite a bit. If you put your head above the parapet for long enough, someone may shoot at it. Unless you can stand back and take a bit of criticism (albeit rather nastily worded) with good humour, you're setting yourself up for a big fall.
