He overreacted, equated her questions with statements, and did it in an unneccessarily harsh way.

That's his modus operandi

I know, I'd gathered this via previous conflict with him

I was quite happy to discuss his reasons for me not being aspie though as someone thinking I don't have it doesn't put me on the defensive at all; it interests me

Who knows for sure what anyone has after all?

I was just curious as to how the OP's suspected Aspergers manifested itself

Yeah, that's how your questions came across to me. I can understand how they might have been interpreted differently, but there was no need for anyone to go on the attack without giving you a chance to clarify.

Exactly like mine, me and him share a common culture background, maybe that's why.

Well, imo Nessa is an amazing person. We all have faults, but she is very honest and would never be cruel with anyone in an intentional way.

Aspergers or no aspergers, it doesn't matter. It's her absolute pureness that I love. I wish there were more people like her.

I've done it myself enough times so it served me right in many ways

It just sounded really threatening. Especially at a point in the thread when there was nothing to "kick arse" about. Treating us like we are a bunch of children.

I didn't like it.

Am I going to get "heavied upon" for saying that?

:roll:

When members behave like children, they get treated as such and sent to the naughty corner.

An in-thread warning asking members to cool it, regarding rule-bending behaviour / inter-member hostility is better than allowing a situation to escalate to the point of a ban.

How was I acting like a child? I was fending off an attack if you'd been there to even witness it while it was taking place.

Sigh. I'm not saying you were. I'm stating that I don't want MCalavera and you to get into a flame war if/when he returns to this thread.
