Catch my drift? I must admit, it isn’t great to be looked down on, but a lot of us tend to be blunt, observant, and cautious. Now, I shall do as Old Bill would and give you some more rope.

You got some brown stuff on your nose. Get your head out of OldBills rectum, it’s embarrassing for you.

I’ve been here several weeks now and apart from a car forum I was a member of about a decade ago I have never been a member on an online forum.

Since I joined MGTOW, created my own threads, read other people’s threads and posted I have picked up a vibe regarding what members feel are the unwritten rules/etiquette/manners – call it what you will.

I checked if KM has outlined any guidance but couldn’t find anything, so wondered what the rest of you think constituents good and bad etiquette when it comes es to creating threads, and posting on other people’s threads.

Sorry if this is a subject that’s cropped up in the past. My telepathic receiver is faulty.

Anyway – any thoughts?

The general rule around here is that it’s ok to call people morons, simps, idiots etc. If your name is OldBill because he’s “an established member”. That means it’s ok for him to treat people like s~~~. And if you complain about it, expect to be called a “whiner”. Of course there are many people here who don’t feel that way, considering my post calling for OldBill to be purged from this forum received many up votes. But typically those people don’t post.

Oh look the Woman Going Her Own Way is still here. Seriously. Why haven’t you left yet? If you’re so unhappy, just leave. It’s not that hard. Log out, don’t come back, and go about your merry way. It started out with this mancrush on Bill, and now you’re insulting and arguing with the other members of this site. Have some f~~~ing decency and just leave already Tuna.

I’ll leave when I feel like it and if you don’t like it, I’ll tell you what you told me: Scroll down and ignore my posts. You can call me a woman until your lungs bleed but I would rather be called that than a butt kisser, which is what you are.

OldBill butt locker, you posted that already. Wasn’t funny the first time and it ain’t funny now. Get some fresh material. Have a nice day.

A lot of forums discourage double posting. Posting right after your own post. Sometimes it happens on accident or just happens but don’t make a habit of it.

Yes I have done that a few times and wondered if it was a problem. Then I discovered the edit button.
I can miss the obvious one minute but spot the detail the next.

You’ve been a member for 6 weeks and you have a rating of nearly 700. That should tell you about the contribution you’re making to this site. Keep up the good work.

This place has saved me so need my daily visits. I enjoy contributing but my initial post here reflected the anxiety I sometimes have. But the words of reassurance have helped with that. Much appreciate.
There’s more story to tell and as I post more I hope to share it.

DocDJ, I have been assessed as having Asperger’s Residual type. The residual monica is given, as my occupational functioning is reasonable. Faking being neurotypical can help you bet through life. However, social relationships definitely challenge, and mentally drain the Aspie. Fortunately, today has never been a better time for Aspies, as our talents are adaptive in society. MGTOW for the last 12 years. I have made a conscious decision to live NFG as much as I can. There are a great many ASD spectrum beings that are disadvantaged by not being aware of their talents. One trait of ASD is quite stubborn literal loyalty to marriage… which of course hurts when it is not reciprocated. Do I suffer Aspergers?…. no I relish it!

That’s a really good point.
I always knew I was square peg in a round hole but was quite adaptive so when I found out I have Aspergers I wondered if I had spent my like faking neuro typical behavior.
I’m not bragging here but in my early 20s I discovered psychology and decided to pursue it. The reason being i been through so much s~~~ from people by then I wanted answers about why people acted the way they do.

Being a typical Aspie (who didn’t know I had it at that point) I pursued the psychology to PhD level.

Since I found out about the Aspergers and the ffact that Aspies can fake neuro typical behaviour I have newer fully understood what behaviour of mine is natural and what is learned rote.

I read someone that one in 4 men have Aspergic traits.
When you think about that it means to be Aspergic in functioning is almost normal for men.
And if it’s true then do think differently to women.

Yes loyalty – I knew we were fiercely loyal.
Just need to make sure the loyalty isn’t squandered on women.
You are right too about not suffering Aspergers.
I try to enjoy it as much as possible.
No and again my paranoia kicks in as it did here and why I wrote this post.

It a combination of paranoia around my posting manners and the knwoelgde that my Aspergers makes me do things others don’t always understand.

Thanks for all the contributions heer guys.
