Its insane how many times I can lose my glasses. One time (at bandcamp) my husband and I searched for half an hour.

They were on my face.

Dead serious.

i feel like i'm back in high school!

there have been some posts i have come across where people are...i don't want to use the word attacking, but maybe...ganging up on posters for their comments. these comments are negative (glass kind of half empty comments), but they are not abusive or crude, they are simply comments as expressed by the posters. some SCer's have taken it upon themselves to moderate what posters are allowed to say, and not allowed to say based on their personal views (glass always half full). there is a difference between not agreeing with someone's comments and telling someone their opinions are not valid or wanted. i think if you have a personal opinion towards what a poster has written, than it needs to be: 1) ignored, 2) addressed between the two individuals through pm's so that it is not posted for public viewing, or 3) brought to a real mod's attention so that it may be dealt with appropriately.

we are all grown-ups. let's start acting like it. if you don't like someone's personal opinion, be the bigger person and just walk away. quit ganging up on people.

Actually, I find that in some cases posting public posting does help since if a person misuses a coupon, and its dealt with by PM, all the newbies reading who are not aware of the terms go out and do the same then come back and complain about the cashier

thanks. i understand. but these comments have nothing to do with coupons, or shopping, or cashiers. these are comments being made in the other areas of the forum.

I wasn't ganging up on this person in question. I was stating how I felt, just as they did.

I mean this person can post horrible comments in the thread but I am not allowed to state my opinion on how those comments are unwanted and not needed in thread about someone who is batteling cancer?

There are too many people on this site who have had cancer or are batteling it themselves right now. So to have those comments in a thread about best wishes and prayers ticks me off and I don't care if this person in question doesn't like my opinions because I will give them, just like they gave theirs.

Before I proceed, I would just like to say that I am not bringing attention specifically your comment as it is not the only one I have come across, but seeing as you have so kindly come forward to discuss the matter....

I would just like to start off by saying that I totally understand where you're coming from. I have seen some of the other comments posted by this person, and one of them in particular made my eyes water, i was extremely upset. My mother died of breast cancer which metastasized to her entire body including her brain. She had a seizure in my arms because there was so much pressure on her brain stem and i had to make the decision to remove her from life support. So please don't assume I don't understand your position. This person's comment was made in reference to the subject of the thread. Your comment became personal, and had nothing to do with the thread. I didn't like what this person had to say either, it could have been worded much differently, but I wouldn't ever want someone to think that they needed to censor their comments because they might come across as negative. Again there is a difference between not agreeing with someone's comment, and telling them their opinion is not valid or wanted. I think that at times it's better to just leave things be. Why does this person's personal opinion matter anyway? Hopefully this person will get the hint, and move on.

I am wondering if some of the posters that seem to be blunt and less sensitive then others may have Aspergers. I see my son in a lot of these posts and although he hasn't been officially diagnosed he has all the tell marks and we are just waiting for the doctor to get the ball rolling.

[FallenPixels]

I doubt we have that many people with Aspergers

I have Aspergers, actually- and it's something that's not that easy to diagnose.

Also, we are not (in general) 'blunt or less sensitive'. It's more a matter of lacking confidence in unfamiliar social situations. Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. The thing is, people with Aspergers are usually aware of their social awkwardness and tend to over-compensate by being ultra polite and 'tip-toeing' around.

I don't know that it's fair to automatically associate 'negative' behaviors with individuals on the autism spectrum. The rude/blunt individuals are possibly just jerks. Or, they have a different sense of humor than anyone else. Or there are cultural differences at play. A lot of possible factors that don't involve speculating on a person's mental health.
