The name “Trista Jones” is very similar to the name “Tristan Jones”, and he’s an Alpha social club member. I don’t know whether you’ve met him yet, but he’s scheduled to come bowling.

Whoever’s doing this has done his research. VERY well.

Personally, I think that where this all went wrong was when you replied to the “I’d like to ask for a thorough description and explanation of what you mean” comment.with three very detailed comments.

Someone “like” foresam was trying to get you to EXPEND EFFORT in replying to him. That’s yet ANOTHER tool of people like “this”.

Athena is a moderate…………….not wanting to fight but also doesn’t recognize trolling………….

I’m decidedly more militant but…………BUT………..I hate flame wars………I’ve bitten or smacked my hands many times before……….because of desire to post something inflammatory against someone because “I feel attacked” or something like that……………

its hard to do at times but its better for everyone involved in the long run…….plus, it makes the troll look foolish………if he or she keeps ranting and no one responds……….

that in itself is victory………..

Why are there such mischief makers out there?
There is enough trouble and strife in the world as it is! Sigh….

yes, its all pretty infantile, but that’s trolls for ya.

I have the Autism Diva blog. That comment was not from me. Not that you would know it, but the style of writing and word usage is not like mine, either. The person used a couple words that I don’t ever use and wouldn’t because they sound wrong to me, for instance.

“There is much in the world beyond emotions” (weird stuff) I guess someone in Seattle hates me. Oh well.

Feel free to ask me any time if I have posted something.

There have been a number of trolls who have been attempting to start fights by using the names or Internet nicknames of their opponents. I’ve had this happen to me recently a few different times, and so has at least one scientist in the autism field. It appears to be happening to Autism Diva as well. So everyone, Donna did not write that comment, but neither did Autism Diva. Someone is trying to mess with all our heads here.

Yes, I know of Autism Diva,I have read her blog from time to time. Have to say though, that I am very disappointed in the belligerent manner in which she is conducting herself.

I could also say that biased detractors aren’t that valuable to the truth, either.

“With all the preciousness and autism circus rubbish going on, it’s not surprising camps polarise and defend their labels and theories but when we lose humanity and learning in the process it’s time to chill out, stand back and get of our high horses.”

So true Donna.

When even a moderate such as yourself is pilloried I can only (sadly )shake my head.

the comment you refer to was NOT by me at all
it was POSTED by me
but it is by a critic named AUTISM DIVA

Sometimes I won’t approve a comment directly if its from someone I suspect may then flood the blog. So, instead, to give them the chance to have an initial say, I post their comment myself.

So AUTISM DIVA quoted you, then seemed to wish to challenge your impression of me.

I don’t see the point of this, I’m not running a popularity contest on this blog, just my version of journalism. But she clearly disliked things I said, and so be it.

For the record, she’s one of the most high profile bloggers in the Neurodiversity (ND) crowd.

For now, she’s decided she doesn’t like what I write.

As you know, I’m a moderate. That means I’m not into militant agendas, not curist ones, not culturalist ones, though I can find merits in each.

Sometimes those at one extreme or the other feel like George Bush ‘you’re either with us or you’re against us’. If one is clearly ‘on the team’ then one must buy the rules, play the game the whole way.

As you know, I’m too feral for that.

So, yes, your fluffy emotional nature is safe with, and respected by me.
Sorry you were confused.
