Account flagged as inappropriate

I Sperg

Every day for about 4 days now, every time I refresh my screen or move about the site, I get reminded that some body hated me so much that they asked for my very existence here to be obliterated.  

*section removed on advice from wise friend*

Everyday for about four days now, I've been made to wonder, do I really "fit in" here?

I wonder if it happened to any of the other "deleted users"?

It's been suggested by one kind member that I am not slated to join that group.

Yet isn't endless fecking rejection, an integral part of the Autism experience?

For me, not knowing why my account was flagged as "Inappropriate" makes the given opportunity to "respond" somewhat 1950's soviet in it's aspect, or maybe vaguely reminds one of the 1960's series "the prisoner". Certainly not useful.

BUT every day now until the 4th apparently, I get to wonder if I should be reaching out to those in my "friends" list who really do seem "friendly" and give them my email address in a P.M...

And if you click on that litlle yellow thing you get:

I've just noticed the tiny word "abuse". At least Ii know what I am being "judged" for now...

  • Have you submitted the form to respond and give your side? 

    It's just saying that you've been flagged and that it needs to be investigated, but if you don't respond you will be suspended. 

    I didn't see the pronouns thread at the time but I looked it up and I can see how it might have upset people.  Freedom of speech means that you are allowed to say things that upset people, but it also means that people are allowed to say when they have been upset.  Making jokes about a minority group who are currently facing all kinds of discrimination and political backlash might not be the wisest choice and people are allowed to tell you that such remarks are upsetting and inflammatory.  That doesn't make you a bad person, or mean that you've been cancelled, it just means that you've made a mistake and are being advised to avoid it in the future.

    Not quite ~ in that you are not allowed to say things that hurt people, because that would be the freedom of imposition, whereas the freedom of expression ~ is very much equivalent to owning a driving license and having to drive safely, and not offensively.
