Question time

I’m watching question time. Not sure how long I’ll be able to watch it- I find it annoying because I want to help them all to understand what they are obviously finding difficult to agree on

  • Ah, Thank You! For that reply, About all of my posting really long stuff/info. Here is a more direct link for anyone to that other Thread:

     https://community.autism.org.uk/f/adults-on-the-autistic-spectrum/17005/new-threads-rule/

    Good luck, to All who are good... (!)...

  • Thank you. My new thread that DC referred to is called New threads-rule if anyone would like to contribute in this more suitable thread for such a topic as this thread has turned into.

  • To "Mesmerist" - Mrs Mesmerist!... Yay, Thank You for that reply! I am glad that You are OK and understood.

    True enough, what You say about "downvoting", was what I (also tried to say) said somewhere here as well. One of Your replies near the top, has <>5 voters, yet only currently shows a +1.  It is not easy to know who is voting up or down (Mr.WebPM might know), but I shall say that I for one was an upvoter. As it stands, Your voted up/down/up/down/up reply is a good example of how weird things can sometimes go upon here... but...

    NO it is not always like this! So Please bear with it, as You said there, calm and observing, stick to One's own principles. As You defend Yourself, then that is a good thing. When REAL Trolls or "nasty" people appear, then many of us can recognise them after a bit since they are *consistently* nasty. Sometimes they target a single User, sometimes they just downvote silently.

    Also, a person not knowing how to use this Forum, may seem nasty at first, yet be willing to learn. I keep saying that all this should be said upon Agape's Newer Thread, but I put it here as You say You are New and I wanted to Thank You for the reply.

    ...I could say other things, but this is long enough already, so I must send it or else this might disappear.

    Multiple posts in one day from only one or 2 Users is usually a SPAM thing, which partly explains the "bot" accusations and why people here are a bit jumpy about it. I hope You get what I mean. (Sheesh this is a long reply...)

  • I'm Mrs JR. I changed my user name because everyone seems to be using pseudonyms. If you look back through the thread, I was standing up for because I thought he/she was being treated in an unwelcome way by the person called Leaf. I could see that Cloudy Mountain also felt the same way.

    A couple of points: I'm Aspergers. I had a late diagnosis this year. I'm 55.

    I only joined the community on here this week and straight away felt unwelcome.

    One of my Master's Degrees was in Strategic HR where I researched bullying in the work place. I am very anti-bullying and think everyone should be kind. I don't like unhelpful rules like telling not post too many threads. That's up to the moderators not Aidie or Leaf or anyone else.

    I notice there is a lot of 'down-voting' on comments but without reasons why which seems very hostile and led me to the conclusion that the environment might be a bit 'trolly'.

    I also noticed in one of your posts below that you said there are nasty people - I don't know who you are referring to but I hope it's not me.

    All the very best MrsJR aka Mesmerist.

  • that is the person who bothered  Leaf. Her name has since changed. Leaf PMed me that she will be back later and thanked me for my support in the attack. She couldn't cope with the attack across multiple threads. I look forward to Leaf coming back. She was here one month. She did nothing wrong. Oh that reminds me ...... i have my nails to do. 

  • I was just reporting the outcome for the mods to read. Sorry I thought you would be more concerned.

    You didn't need to send me a reply then. It would be probably more effective e-mailing the mods directly than telling me.

    Your comments like "I thought we were all finished", "chill out" and "whatever you say buddy" towards me  were patronizing and unhelpful when I was trying to support Leaf who was being trolled. I tried to recover her via PM. She was upset.

    Yes all of those comments were addressed to you. Not Leaf. We had spoke, and sorted it out. I don't see how I addressed you has any relation to Leaf. Making it seem so is dishonest and misrepresentative in my opinion.

    I'll finish when I want to

    Fine. Keep logging into your other accounts too to give votes. This seems to mean a lot to you. I won't stand in your way anymore, have fun buddy!

  • Um...Greetings, "Aldie"... I am an old poster yet new poster to this Thread. "Chill out" and "whatever you say buddy" are the Cloudy Mountains that those of us who are used to seeing Cloudy Mountains forming over the mountains are used to...? Please do not get so upset, and consider context. Sorry I had to write this post in a haste, I am not good at chat. Fair Fortune to you (have a read of what else I said.)
