Sometimes would troll with others, me vs the rest. Because aspies take everything so literal, word fights can be very fun. I find them to be at least, lol. Vast majority of the time wasnt in trade though, find it to be counterproductive and mass waste of time. Did alot of gold farming, leveling toons (11 level 80's, 3x horde, 8x allys, 3x alleria, 8x underbog server) and PVP. Pvp is like big game hunting, love it. Fav all time, rogue. 2nd, druid, feral for bg pvp, resto for arena pvp, pally ret for bg, holy for arena.

Ah, ok so you are an AS that reinforces the stereotype of zero empathy and self absorbed ? hate to pop your bubble,
but just because "Nt's" don't struggle with the same things, doesn't mean they don't struggle. In some cases greatly
and against as bad odds as there are. Your strategy doesn't make you better than those you seem to consider "weak"
and the whole 'what doesn't kill me..."platitude is just that. A platitude. You have it backwards. People express their strength
in how they face adversity. They don't become stronger because of it.

Truly, your post reads more like coming from a narcissistic self help huckster than any AS I've met or know of. You come off
as manic and even a bit of a sosciopathic bully.

But, you already knew that. I think i now find this thread annoying, but feel free to get over yourself :D

your psychoanalytical skills are amateur at best.
let me try

by your reply I can tell you have basically zero empathy, and all the accusations you tried to throw out at me were just subconsious projections of all the things you think about yourself.
I dont concidere NT or Aspies weak, we are all equal. maybe not equal across the board, but we can cross the finish line at the same time, even better, than anyone "normal"
Your rant on "platitude",whatever that is, is more like an opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own, so dont shove it down others throats. If you feel compelled to do so, make your own topic.
you come off as childish and immature, but I bet you already know that since you have been told that all your life.

Said the guy with the Pokemon obsession who openly admitted to trolling other aspies for fun :?:

I do find it interesting you needed to send it as a PM with a nice juicy insult laden subject line after i stopped following the thread, but fine by me.

Infer anything you like from my replies man :) You need to win that's cool. You win. The game is yours, but before I forget:

plat·i·tude (plt-td, -tyd)
n.
1. A trite or banal remark or statement, especially one expressed as if it were original or significant.

As in " Everything happens for a reason", "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself" or "What doesn't kill us makes us
stronger"

But again, you win. I bow before your clearly more developed sense of self, gifted ability to analyze people, and apparently
strength of willpower.

Have a nice day :D

just 1 thing, didnt admit to trolling aspies. trolled wow trolls, not good people. In my opinion, there is a difference.
Other than that, you did pretty well on the rest. Kissing ass 8 (on 1-10), knowledge of superiors 10 (on 1-9)

All those choices make it hard to choose the best for me. One thing I know for sure, being brutally honest is a definite con, not a pro. It would be easier for me to say the one I like least, brutal honesty, than the one I like most, since there are several.
