KaloJaro: your existence is not wrong - I would be interested in your thoughts on my manifesto post today - do you think those ideas are positive thoughts about how to live with autism?
Longman: I find your post paradoxical but understandable.
You repeat your assertion that their actions are vindictive and vile. In my mind this implies that you believe that they did what they did with malice aforethought. i.e. That they conceived a plan to attack you and followed it through. A court, investigating a crime, would consider intent as well as the actual actions before determining a judgement. Judges reserve such severe reproof or criticism for those that set out to commit heinous crimes and then commit their actions in full knowledge of the damage that they are doing to the victims. I do not believe that the moderators actions fall into this category of premeditated actions.
I do not want this epsiode to be forgiven and forgotten. To err is human, to forgive is divine but we should not forget the battles fought and the fallen and injured "lest we forget". We/they have to learn lessons from the battles fought. I don't think anybody involved will forget this easily. We should not forget this easily.
I sense that you are bewildered and outraged by the alleged transgression and the punishment meted out. You simply don't understand the cause and effect and are unable to make sense of it. Most people would shrug it off, not be stressed by the experience and move on. An autistic person, on the other hand, is likely to react in a disproportionate manner and be traumatised by the reactions of the authorities. Does that analysis fit this situation or am I way off target?
