Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin

So I’m sure many of you have heard about the new wonder drug Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin. It’s a new treatment for both leprosy and SARS available in droplet form. It can be given orally, by IV or as a suppository.

New research suggests it's an effective treatment both for the common cold and trauma due to lightning strikes. It’s been thoroughly tested on animals who unfortunately all died [unpublished study]. Many doctors are now using it as a first line treatment for MI, MS, ME, COPD, HIV, PE and DVT.

Off label uses include reversing impotence and performance enhancement in combat sports. Unfortunately it’s list of common side effects include nausea, vomiting, alopecia, heart attacks, homosexuality, and supernumerary gynecomastia. However it’s excellent cost point has made it popular with NHS GPs. Even for cases of AIDS and pubic lice.

Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin is made from the cerebellar cortex of a genetically modified bison, improves strength and intelligence and is an effective antidote to ricin. The Minister of Health, we hear, will shortly be advising: take Paracetamoxyfrusebendroneomycin!

  • I tried being clear that I was just passing on an interesting story and not offering medical advice, but that wasn;t enough.

    I personally preferred the days of mod warnings and very rarely threads locked.

    These are the days of deletion and over writing along with ten million faults.

  • the tread I was responding to in tha case of my cat pictures thread becomes unavailable.

    That's a known forum fault.

  • I tried being clear that I was just passing on an interesting story and not offering medical advice, but that wasn;t enough. 

    I seem to be on some sort of super censorship where my replies don't appear AND the tread I was responding to in tha case of my cat pictures thread becomes unavailable.

  • we're all different and some people who use the site may be feeling vulnerable and confused and looking for support

    Well, I certainly fall into this category at the moment.  I am indifferent to some rules, but I will happily obey almost any "rule" if it is applied and enforced evenly and fairly to all.  Perhaps some "partisan" application of some rules have crept into this place........and some members have noticed, and are simply highlighting this phenomenon (perhaps because of woefully inadequate communication from "the powers that be" here, especially given the undoubted and widespread tech problems being reported on the forum at the moment?)

    I sincerely believe that no one, from any angle, is deliberately trying to derail this forum platform......but all folks are simply trying to voice their concerns about the current woeful performance of it.........because they care about the rights of ALL autistic people too....and they want to defend "safe and fair spaces" for all of our tribe?

    I think it is OFTEN (and perhaps wilfully) forgotten that the challenges of autistic people come in all shades, shapes and sizes.  Whilst it is easy and "non-contentious" to yell support for people who can't understand/perceive irony and duplicity ...... what about the poor autistic people who have a HEIGHTENED perception of these things being present [irrespective of whether they can truly 'understand' such matters or not?]  Are this latter group consigned to "be silent" here, just because others cannot / do not have the capacity to hear and see such matters?

    Again - Lotus - please be assured that these comments are not "aimed" at you, nor any other individuals - these are merely my words prompted by your post - and my wider experience of this place - both past and present.

  • To everyone that Peter's post has confused or offended: just to be clear, the OP is humour and relates to a song about a made up drug. It isn't medical advice, and it is tagged as humour. I think that the reference to the moderation & AI systems of this site was due to the fact that the system has been so over sensitive since the upgrade, and in many cases has quarantined posts with no offensive content at all, leading us to wonder exactly what the parameters are for checking content.

    Peter - I like to see a variety of posts here, including humour, and I saw that this one was tagged as such and personally found it amusing. However if I was you I would have written a sentence at the end to make things absolutely clear such as "Disclaimer: this is humour and is not medical advice". Whilst I got the joke, we're all different and some people who use the site may be feeling vulnerable and confused and looking for support, or just not have the same sense of humour.

  • I appreciate your thoughts Number, which you say are not aimed at me. As you have replied to me, I can take it no other way than you are telling me that you have a different view on the matter - that is fine by me as we both like to dialogue. I have no issue over difference of opinion, but I do have an issue over deliberate provocation of the intended target at the expense of autistic people, followed by responses with further meanness of spirit.

    I like rules and regulations as I feel safe and know where I stand. I like rules so much that this autistic trait is recorded on my autism medical report.

    For people who have issues with the forum, of course this should be a safe place to discuss what they think could be improved. People could also contact NAS directly with their concerns as they would be entitled to a response.

  • but it is actually upsetting & offending people

    Well I think I can respond to that best by quoting Rowan Atkinson in his empasioned speach on the importance of free speach, even to the point of offence.

    "For me the best way to increase society's resistance to insulting or offensive speech is to allow a lot more of it. As with childhood diseases you can better resist those germs to which you have been exposed. We need to build our immunity to taking offense so that we can deal with the issues that perfectly Justified criticism can raise."

    So no I don't particularly care if you are offended any more than I care if a baby getting a vaccination cries. You may not like it but it's good for you to get a little offended from time to time.

  • You make zero sense.  

    Religions or genders in the countries people are born in bear no comparison to your decision to join an internet forum.   People don't choose to be a certain gender.  Often people are born into families that practice a certain religion.

    You chose to come to this place, of your own free will.  You speak of North Korea and Iran, where people's free will counts for far less.   Therefore your analogies don't stack up.


    Disturbingly, not only are your analogies false, you seem to wish to include race, religion and gender minorities and stereotypes in your pronouncements & thinking, without bothering to evaluate.  On an internet forum to support another minority of all places. 

    If you are trying to excuse yourself by saying the rules have changed since you joined - well that's just unfortunate.  You need to appraise yourself of the rules NOW not the rules THEN. 

    You also need to bear in mind that you might sit there giggling at your supposed comedy performance, but it is actually upsetting & offending people - and you don't care.  Furthermore, you actually double-down on your so-called jokes by justifying and excusing yourself. 

    The people you don't care about offending are those in the same forum as you, because they have ASD and come here primarily for support.  

    There are some here who would have the decency to apologise or withdraw a piece if it caused offence to others, because that's what people do, in order to get along.  Others dig their heels in and maintain their right to make jokes are more important than the offence they cause.  

  • sigh the link provides important context for the joke.

    I will try and make my explanation more simple for you. I don’t want to click on the link. That is my decision to make. I love rules and regulations because I know where I am with them. I don’t care whether your link is a joke or not. To repeat my point to you in different words (unlike you, I won’t sigh because that would be disrespectful), moderators and people with autism should not be discredited. If you have an issue with the forum, contact the NAS directly and don’t abuse the rules.

  • I don't see why you have to keep bringing up homosexuality, but you've just thrown it in.  Again.  

    Just the first example that came to mind. It could be anything you like. Christians in north korea say.

    Are you really making a comparison between you - choosing to join an internet forum, in full knowledge of the rules,

    When I joined the rules were diffrent so no I didn't really have a choice in that. but that's not the point. No rule make should be above critacism or satire. And the responce to that sitire is 'my house my rules' well that argument only really washes when there is a viable alternative.

  • sigh the link provides important context for the joke. It's the song the joke is based on. The entire bit is an in joke for people who know the song. And so what if it is antogonistic. If so it's towards the rule makers not you. Charities are not and should not be abouve critacisem.

  • The benefactors do wish to know that their contributions are being used to deliver a safe and inclusive space, for all autists, here on the forum? 

    If the forum functionality is "shot" at the moment, without explanation or notification from those that run it here, then citizen science (which many of us here are stuck with) seems inevitable?

    We would all prefer just to be allowed to "be" here, without fear or favour.  I know of no one who is actively trying to cause trouble here.......but I see MANY who are raising their concerns in the ways that they have at their disposal.

    We all communicate in different ways.

    With respect and friendship to you ArchaeC.....my words above are not "aimed" at you, nor any other individuals nor philosophies....these are merely my words prompted by your post.

  • No I haven’t. I don’t want to read your link - but I read to the end of your post which explicitly states your reason for posting.

    [now lets see if our moderators and their AIs are capable of understanding irony and context]

    It is antagonistic to use this forum to test the moderators and autistic users. The forum is a service provided by a charity and it is thanks to the kindness and thoughtfulness of benefactors that we have this space. 

  • Are you really making a comparison between you - choosing to join an internet forum, in full knowledge of the rules, and and homosexual Iranians who had no choice as to where they were born? 

    I don't see why you have to keep bringing up homosexuality, but you've just thrown it in.  Again.  

    And no, you aren't funny.  You are offensive.   You shouldn't be using (other) minorities to make your points either.  If you can't see the immorality in that, then it is pointless discussing with you further. 


  • I've litterally applied the humour tag to the post

    I, for one, didn't see that until you just flagged it. Nor might many others notice, or even know where to look for, it.

    and put a line about it being irony at the end. If people can't figgure out it's sarcastic from that that's not autism that's inatentivness.

    That's both ableist, and disrespectful to those whose communication difficulties are greater than yours.

    Whether we have comorbid ADHD or not, it can also be common for autistic people to experience difficulties with inattentiveness. I am among them, for example. 

    in which case more shame on them.

    Quite the opposite, in my opinion.

  • Your own enjoyment might come at a much greater expense than you realise (in respect of confusion caused), to more people than you realise. 

    I've litterally applied the humour tag to the post and put a line about it being irony at the end. If people can't figgure out it's sarcastic from that that's not autism that's inatentivness.

    Maybe the confused people are also the people in the habit of not readding things to the end ... in which case more shame on them.


  • Why are you here if you can't abide the strictures in place? 

    That's a very poor argument. You might as well say if the gay people don't like homosexuality being banned in iran why don't they all leave? People get attached to where they are. And you assume there is somewhere else they could go.

    We all have rules.  Your post is just your way of saying 'I don't like obeying the rules here, so I choose to flaunt them'  while trying to circumnavigate said rules by the use of sarcasm & irony. 

    Sorry to disapoint you but I mostly did it because I thought it was funny. Although it's true I do think the way some of the rules have changed here since I joined are over-kill jobs-worth nonsence. Please don't be under the impresion these rules about advice are for your benifit. They exist first and formost to cover NAS's litigation exposed asses.

    Anyway I'm not breaking any rules. I'm just mocking the rules which is quite difrent.

  • I read your previous post before it was edited, and if you were trying to be sarcastic in that I couldn't tell despite having subject knowledge. 

    I haven't edited my opening post? What are you refering to?

  • supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

  • We all have rules.  Your post is just your way of saying 'I don't like obeying the rules here, so I choose to flaunt them'  while trying to circumnavigate said rules by the use of sarcasm & irony. 

    Why are you here if you can't abide the strictures in place? 

    There are some that believe all the internet tells them re dubious substances that purport to do good.   It isn't a comedic matter.

    There's a couple of other words you chose to use which I find distasteful too, so I hope they remove your post - and give you a holiday with it.
