" Read this sentence: " It is for you and Inger to make judgements but you cannnot provide my with any real verifiable evidence. Fine. " The use of the word " Fine " indicates vindictiveness. Understandably, my words may not be taken well by you, but what I am hoping for is that you consider them as given and free them of negative connotations. In this way you can see that what Inger and I are trying to do is to embrace you and integrate you into the group. Naturally I do not believe that we can hope to forestall ALL mistinterpretations by adopting a more neutral tone when we post, but I think being calm and deliberate in our posting habits does help quite a bit in staving off hostility. " And that is not a diss is it? What evidence can you present apart I have negative emotions apart from your interpretation? " It would seem that you view my comments as an attack upon you. Far from it. If you are truly Aspie, then we want you with us. The more the better. We all have commonalities and for that reason we are a society of our own. You must understand that when I take issue with your verbiage, I am not at all taking issue with you as a person. There is quite a difference. If you are here, it is because you are seeking others like yourself. There are many here like you, but they may be reluctant to totally embrace you pending the resolution of our discussions. " A higher level of brushing things under the carpet. That's rich. Do your worse Tom! " I have no intention of doing so. On the contrary, I shall try to do my best. I offer you my hand in friendship. Follow the lead of those around you and you will soon see how we interact here. If you have questions about how you can better fit in here, ask, and you will be answered.

You have created more than a refuge from hostile environments, Tom but also a refuge from the standard interpretations of dictionary defined words and written communications. On what do you base your personal judgement that " fine " at the end of a sentence means vindictiveness?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 . You have said that silence of other members of this group implys agreement with you. I have remained silent (mainly to avoid saying something I would regret), but I agree with Tom and Inger. I find your posts throuout this debate to be hostle. It makes me hesitant to interact with you. > > > Message to all: > > If uses my name in a negative context in one more post, I'm out > of hear.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 , You came in here with a more aggressive attitude than we are used to and comfortable with in this forum. I only did my job and informed you of our policy and rules. Instead of accepting responsibility for your behavior, you chose to contest my assessment with increasing hostility and rudeness. Despite this, Tom elected to give you a fair chance to change your behavior and move on. But you choose to contest his assessment too and continue being belligerent, argumentative and provocative, as well as continuing to go on about Ken, even though I have repeatedly explained that he is not obliged to communicate with you upon demand. I had really hoped to see a more positive response to Tom's generosity towards you; that you could have just said " OK " and gone back to having the type of productive discussions you have also shown yourself capable of. As you elected not to do so, and do not want to risk losing Ken as a member, we have no other choice but to put you on moderation.
