Those people that don't want to be included in this thread can be listed in the first post, in return they don't comment on anybody else and refrain from doing any posting in this thread.

Haha... that might be a good idea.

And I just cannot believe Freebase didn't know this would hurt me.
The things he says are just harsh, harsher, harshest. It's not like he even says 'but you can't help it, so don't bother, this is just what I think'.
He mainly just says: You are only helping people because you want them to like you and you are only autistic because you don't want to work.
There's no way of making that sound nice.
I don't want anyone to spare me because I have aspergers. It would be nice if people would think twice before responding to my postings, but I cannot ask that from them.
That doesn't mean they can just rant on about it without having a clue what they're on about, obviously.
@ Freebase: If you want to reply, please understand that I'm not going to read your posting. The last one was very, very wrong too and It's not going to help our situation here when I read your next one.
We're just going to have to live with eachother now. I would want to ask you to keep your ideas about me to yourself from now on. I cannot make you do this, but I think it's a good idea.

The bold, you got right. I don't believe in treating a person any differently than anyone else who makes a conscious decision to post on a public forum along with everyone else.

Not sure, but just to let you know, we are filtering posts a lot more heavily than we used to, so posts that aren't considered well thought-out, and/or don't meet the basic expectation of quality that we require from posts in Editor's Pick, won't get approved. (Or may be approved accidentally, then deleted)

Not sure if you're joking here or not... But Urban is making the statement that if people don't want to be talked about here, then they can request to not be talked about, at the expense of not talking about anyone else, themselves. The whole "can't have your cake and eat it too" thing.
At least, that's what I'm getting from it.
