Scary garywww. Now can we talk about how I think my teacup toy poodle's been trying to undermine me?

garywww seems charming, and almost kindly.

A suggestion to the OP: this message board is not a personal journal. The OP can think of more entertaining and clever ways of poking back at his tormentors, if he has some, than posting this thread directed at people? Perhaps by marshalling some counter-thread to the thread that he felt undermined him?

If there was some undermining going on, then that must mean that there is some thing (that was undermined) that is worth defending? Seems to me that from a strategic point of view, you defend the thing being undermined, not engage in an ad hominem attack, if someone else is trying to undermine you.

Say garywww did post a suggestive thread undermining some OP's agenda or trait. Then you counter with something that defends that agenda or trait. This is how lively and subtle debates take place on message boards. But the discussion is about the topics and ideas, not about each other. If you want to argue about tactics or personalities, as a thing separate and apart from topics, you are making it just personal, and that is boring to air out to the group.

Like even if you posted a thread asking "Has anyone ever posted a thread that was intended to undermine you?" that would be more interesting...

You know you really have to keep an eye on those Poodles. I had one a long time ago who was writing bad checks on my account and having an affair with a Bulldog. We can talk about that but what I really wanted to talk about was the differences in wool dyes used during the early Iron Age. Well, either that or why is everybody wanting to be my friend all of a sudden since I won the lottery.

To the OP, I feel threatened by much of garyww says here, and I don't think he's out to get me. I think that's just the way he is. What's more, I don't think autism is either a suitable excuse or a good reason, since lots of autistic people aren't like that. It's just him. People come in all types here. He may feel the same way about me.

On a forum like this you're going to run into people you don't hit it off with, and they're always the ones who talk too much. (Your friends can never talk too much. :wink: ) Mensa was even worse that way for me, and that's why I left.

It's like this in any community, I think. Basically you have a choice of toughing it out or leaving, and it's a question of whether the good outweighs the bad or not. I've been in high IQ groups where even though the good was wonderful, after a while it wasn't enough to outweigh the bad. I don't know how this place will go for me, but I really don't like the idea of having to go somewhere else, yet again, because I'm not "tough enough", when I've had to move on so many times already. We'll see.

There are people here who want WP to be a supportive place to hang out.

One too many dubyahs topic

Gary has only two dubyahs. He ain't a web site, just a sore eyes sight.

I don't think that chick in the avatar is asian dude..... :?


She is a white girl from Australia. Which would explain while he thinks he is in a position to insult my looks based on his appearance. :lol: I guess ignorance really is bliss.

Apparently. This is after all the same group of people who insulted and ignored William Freund before he blew away a couple of people.

Sure, Garyww, and I've been on the receiving end of your posts once or twice, but that's life.

Y'know, it's bad enough that people have a reason to get upset over a deliberate insult directed at them, without them digging around for insults that just aren't there, and then raising a stink over something that exists only in their own minds.


He posted an insensitive comment when I was describing my problems. Hardly innocent if you ask me.

well i must admit, i also find the undiagnosed preppies a little problematic. sure they can post here and it's an open site, so there you go.

i have lived my entire 46 years of life with what is currently flavour of the month in australia - and when people come on WP and purport to be autistic or AS - i get frustrated. it's like "f**k off will you? when was the last time you had a meltdown in public or stim so much when you are out of your normal routine that people look at you like you are a freak?"

Perhaps the way i feel about this stuff is not very compassionate, but that is how i honestly feel.


Now in saying that, i understand everyone has a right to be here.

But the whole "emo - i am aspie" scene and movement gives me the s**ts.
like it's cool and mummy and daddy pay for the computer and the net and college fees and the car and there are the parties and the social whirl of living a normal life. And then, someone has a minor bout of depression or gets a bit down and suddenly they have AS. it's all AS.

Time is the great sorter of truths.

in saying that, i do not know who is diagnosed or undiagnosed here.

and garyww's just evil. we're all used to that. eh gary? :)


You don't f*****g know me now do you? Garyww ironicly posts a thread about elitism and then turns around and makes himself out to be a hypocrite. Now you're insinuating that I'm a preppy or a bunch of BS that isn't true. You don't know what I'm going through and you're unaware that I'm currently in treatement. You don't give a s**t. You're like a bunch of f*****g sharks who attacks the new person for standing up against a f*****g ignorant elitist bully.

whimsical, I think your best bet at this point is to call garyww out when you think he's messing with you personally. I mean instead of doing a thread on the subject like here. Like next time you see a post by him that you think was aimed at you and it upsets you, then immediately click the quote reply button and then tell him what for then. If you are not sure, just ask. I do that a lot. If I see something I am not sure someone is aiming at me, I just ask, did you mean that at me or no?

i think i made it fairly clear the above was a generic statement.
i made it clear all have a right to be here. even if they post inane threads.
I also made it clear i do not know who is dx'ed or undx'ed. anyone can put anything in their little profiles.

I do know my perspective as outlined above is largley informed by the difficulties i have had as a woman with AS. (homelessness, the streets, pensioned off, moments of success, only to falter yet again and again.) so be it.

good luck on your journey.

and make sure you track down that youtube vid of the guy getting his head stuck up an elephant's butt. :lol:
