Intially, I found WP to be supportive and felt happy to particpate in dicussions and had a positive attitude. I don't know any adults with AS in real life and have enjoyed being apart of WP. However, I am continue to get harrassed and putdown by other members on WP latley. I don't know why and
I don't need this and is why I am seriously considering leaving. This makes me feel sad and I was going to post a photo at some stage but I don't feel like I can trust any one now.

Well have you been nasty to them first?
You have to me a few times but I didn't really care.

A couple days after I posted it. I saw that and did wonder if that was very rude or not. I think now that it was and really inconsiderate of me. I apologise.

Hi Belladonna, I don't know you well but sorry you feel that way. I understand how it feels when you are mistaken for being rude.

Spokane girl, what does f**k the wedding dress mean and in what context? Hard to judge without seeing full thread.

Just leave then. Why are you making a thread about it?

I wasn't meaning tro "b***h" but I don't get why people do this. Most of the time they don't leave. If someone really wanted to leave, they would just leave.

The same could apply to you and the bitchy comment you made in my haven thread.

I know EXACTLY what you mean, people do it to me too, and I've seen it all over on other posts.... Some people just feel a need to put down others so theyll feel better about themselves...... even aspies can be a-holes sometimes... (most of them are not, I'm talking about just a few of them)

WP is very unpredictable. Sometimes it works for you - sometimes not.

Regardless, I can certainly see in on thread where a member came from nowhere and harassed you. For future reference, if that happens, tell the mods immediately and stop posting in that thread - at least stop posting in retaliation (it only feeds trolls). A direct transgression of WP's rules should result in a warning followed by a ban if the behaviour continues.

If you feel that you need to go then "farewell and good luck" but if not, that's good too.
