Online forums - do people think you're a troll?

I've been banned from a few forums in my lifetime (Mumsnet, for example). 

Every time has shocked and upset me.

People assume I'm a troll and I'm left with that familiar feeling: "I don't understand what I've done wrong; am I living in a parallel universe to everyone else?"

The rejection stings and baffles me.

Does this happen to anyone else?

  • You're right then it's very different! haha. You only have to see the cultural stigma associated with being a strange man to know that it would be different.  I'm chatting up an ASD woman now and she's nothing like me. Successful, three degrees, also never had a problem attracting mates.
