Question time

Agape, I am a little worried about you, your posting style suggest that something slightly deeper might be going in. Do you maybe have a CPN that you can talk to about what is going on at this moment; if you don't you can ask your GP for a referral to your local community mental health team. Sometimes it's good to talk to someone freely and openly with out the worry of how they will think of you after, I have a CPN that I see every few weeks and it find it very helpful. 

I worry a little that your posting stye my cause some people to become annoyed, the last time you had trouble sleeping and started lots of random threads some members found it difficult and asked you not to do it and here you are doing it again; nobody wants to be unkind but some may run out of patience. 

Perhaps if you were to keep your religious thoughts to The Autistic Christian thread rather than start new ones that would help to keep the number of new threads you start down a bit. 

I say this with the best will in the world, I hope you will take it with the good intentions with which it was meant; and because I think a lot of people might not want this to become a thing. 

I don't think it matters that agape wants to post in that style. The person's not said anything wrong. Surely, the one place autistic people should not have to feel confined is on here....just sayin'

I did not in any way say that Agape had done anything wrong but only that I was concerned because of an on going posting stye that suggested that the OP was perhaps struggling in the middle of the night. I feel that I would have been remiss not to show concern.

I am not in any way trying to confine anybody but only making a suggestion because there has to be an element of compromise here, some are finding the forum difficult to use and I care that Agape can express their self in a way that they need to... Just saying. 

Yes agree. I can't see anything offensive and not sure why it's being attributed to either of us. I think what happened basically is that we stood up for Agape. Best wishes, Mesmerist aka MrsJR.

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 agape 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 agape 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.

(I might sign off after this. I am glad You are all OK --- Cloudy, Mrs.Fox, Aldie. And Agape. I last post Here, a counter-provocation, perhaps...

Provocative Downvoters just downvote --- But they do not Post a reason WHY...?)

too much like a lady perhaps 

I’m ok  

It’s ok DC, I ‘get it’ now, I hadn’t read the other thread. Been too busy to read all threads as on end of holiday and packing suitcases while drinking red wine

Ok. Thank you for explaining, I didn’t understand the context.

yea i'll talk to Mods tomorrow to get it frozen tomorrow.

...Um, sorry to bother You again, but which Thread(s) do you mean? I kind of wanted both of these Threads (from Agape) to continue? Agape, as Cloudy said, was having trouble settling in.

I might be waiting for AGAPE to respond, as the OP of both Threads. Agape seems fine, just learning, as I did when I first came here. (As I said, I almost got thrown off!) You are also fine... but what I referred to were the massive downvoters upon this Thread.

There are lots of Threads here which have been started, gone off at a tangent, and then massively downvoted, then the Moderators say something, then the Thread recovers...

The problem is/was random "downvoters" or persons who hijack a thread irrespective of the Starting subject. 

Sometimes a Thread can recover. Like I said, I can really only wait. (If anyone downvotes ME that is a good indicator --- not to brag or anything... !!!?!!)

P.S. All else reading... when at school, An All-Girls school, some could spit and I could not! Go figure...! 

yea i'll talk to Mods tomorrow to get it frozen tomorrow. It was a pleasure talking to u DC if are ever in N. Ireland just mention my name. wait for a pause. Then your drinks will be free.

Thank You Aldie. Please calm down everyone who is currently posting (!). Yes it is a shame about Leaf and that there are nasty people who often post. Honestly, look at the replies I gave to Cloudy, and there *is* a New Thread from Agape. My memory is limited (stressed, tee-hee) so I cannot engage *everyone*...!

I always vote up, but with Threads where no-one is voting, I might hang back a bit. Thanks for reading. 

just seen ur next post - i was right you are as sound as a pound depending on your MPG ( a joke stolen from Plastic )

leaf was right

I was not here last weeks (3 months) so I would not know who JR was. I believe Aldie, and support Miss Kitsune. Is everyone okay, now?

...Hey, hey! None of that s'pecially about Me now! I get it! (see next post)

we were having fun in the men only thread i started. she's sound as a pound.

That’s a really rude thing to say! DC is a woman, I don’t understand why you feel the need to insinuate that she is a man?

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. 

apparently DC is really a man shhhhhhhhh  only a man spits lmao

Good to see you back DC

(I keep saying, I am not good at chat.)

This might be M'last post upon this Thread, until someone else says something. (Or votes Me/Us down??) The thing may be to keep to the topic of a Thread - I have never watched Question Time, and I, also as the OP says, find such things "annoying" especially TV debates when I can offer an answer that would stump all of them which they did not think of even after a half-hour, hour, etc. (Because they are Allistic, perhaps, Mwah-ha.)

Plus it is a Weekend. The amount of downvoting going on here might gain a Moderator to Post their usual thing on the next working day. (e.g. - "Be Nice!")

To finish my post, to all reading, I kind of say... check out Agape's newer Thread about it - please!

(Respect again.)
