How's your bias, WP?

Looking at the poll, are you open minded , closed, or in between?

I voted 5 (like everyone else so far):

I don't care if someone is undiagnosed or self-diagnosed or whatever.

I actually like seeing unfamiliar authors.

The third option is closest to the truth, but I do post in threads in which the author has rubbed me the wrong way, but in most cases, such reactions are transient. I doubt most people here are trying to rub anyone the wrong way.

Unpleasant triggers don't really come up, although I have found myself too confused to properly answer.

Mostly I reply to threads that seem interesting to me.

I don't really notice who posted what. It doesn't matter to me. I don't see why it would matter to anybody, really.

I just post stuff. Sometimes it irritates somebody. Sometimes it doesn't.

Most posts don't really matter, and sometimes I'll quit posting in a thread (or avoid it altogether) if I start to feel like I'm talking to a rock in the serious threads or someone who is deliberately acting like a 6 year old in the news and politics threads.

I post when I feel I have something to say on the given subject, whether it be a comment, opinion or some sort of advice. The emotional state of the thread and it's posters may have some effect, but predominantely for me the deciding factor is potential to contribute.

I'll post in any thread, started by any person, whenever I have something to say. Sometimes I am not even totally on topic, but I just read something that caught my eye and I felt the need to say something. I very rarely hold back for any reason.

There are certain triggers that I'll avoid and not even read the threads, because I know that I just get argumentative, and that there is no chance of it helping either me or the other people. However, if there's a chance of it helping, I'll read and or post.

As a whole I post whereever.

I'll post in any thread started by any authour, as long as I feel that I can contribute.

What controversial threads are being alluded to here?

^
There is one that morphed. Unfortunately it got out of hand. The literalness of autism prevented an expansion, and the name calling shut er' down. Can't have dialog with this. It may have worked on an NT board.

I don't recognize most members here.

I post in whichever thread manages to snag my attention. For example:

How to brush long hair (boring)

Sadam Hussein had autism? (likely to catch my attention)

... Okay, that might have been a little bit exaggerated, but it's the truth.

I voted 5.

OHHHHH, it looks like the instigating poster's user name begins with "Amy" and ends with "F". Is that the one?

She said she had trouble making friends in school... I wonder why.

(Is this post typical NT gossip?)

And, yeah, I noticed that name calling and other typical NT behavior seems more acceptable on NT boards.

Way to make it obvious. I think this may be the case, but lets hope she does not look into this thread.

To wit ooOoOoOAnaOoOoOoo (or whatever), "sometimes the obvious needs stating.". In this case, to assist other equally clueless users.
