I think you're the one comparing apples to oranges. Just because it's more commonly diagnosed in males =/= "a genetic disposition connected to the father." Baldness occurs most often in males, but it's a genetic trait passed down through the mother.

And I'm sorry if you think I'm personalising this discussion. I realize that there are other dynamics at play in this particular thread and with RM. Still, though, I stand by what I said. I think the question you asked -- "As a person with AS why would you even consider bringing a child into the world?" -- was out of line and bordered on offensive. And as I think you would agree, we are both in a position to say whatever we want to say on a message board that is open to the public.

Without picking a side because I'm trying to stay away from this trainwreck altogether I just wanted to say yay, MC is back! I thought you'd gone somewhere and was worried I'd be the first solo player on TAR... ;)

:confused: :confused: :confused:

And by the way, since I'm here, KAP, I just want to say you're being unbelievably cavalier and do seem to be enjoying all of this a little too much if you're really going through what you say you're going through... it's making my stomach turn.

The moderators are here to ensure that posts are not "obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws"...not to ensure that ppl are nice to one another. If LG was out of line, then I am sure that your 'Brothers' would have deleted her post or corrected her.

**looks around** Nope, just you standing out on that limb by yourself.

That was for MysticCat, not you.

The thread ceased to center around you for ONE post. DEAL WITH IT.

Just wanted to quote the important part of that post.



**ok, really I'm going to get some work done now**

Nittany, frankly I'm pissed off to the Nth degree. I am not enjoying this at all. If I am coming off as cavalier, it's probably because it is all I can do to keep from seriously cussing some folks here out.

I was about to cut and paste the emails I received as proof of the news and all the flak I have been taking from my ex's family, but I decided not to because I don't owe ANYBODY here an explanation for anything.

I am resisting the urge to tell my dissenters where they can go, but I won't because I know that that place is very much real, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy, much less a bunch of otherwise harmless e-trash talkers.

I am not enjoying this one bit, and that is for real! I am seriously pissed off right now.

I'd feel better if you did this. (full headers including IP addresses & date/time stamps) If you really want everyone to believe you and stop doubting you, then put it out there. Because if it is true, you're right, you have every right to be pissed off and I wouldn't hesitate to put the proof out there if I were in your shoes. You will get sympathy at least from those of us who know where that grief lies. But if this does turn out to be a bunch of hooey, you better drop to your knees and start to pray because I'm not sure even God will be able to save your sorry soul then...

To your first sentence: while I know Wiki is not always the best source, many times it is. This is the statement I read there: Asperger described common symptoms among his patients' family members, especially fathers, and research supports this observation and suggests a genetic contribution to Asperger syndrome.

To your second paragraph: so noted.

The reason why I haven't was because it really won't convince the dissenters, it will only open other doors for them to make other unrelated personal attacks later.

Have you noticed that the biggest dissenters have been the most offensive towards me? That isn't a coincidence, they have an personal axe to grind, and this is NOT the time or the place.

Yeah, I can post the emails, but all that would happen is that the dissenters would pick it apart and overanalyze or read into some trivial detail(s), which would only make for some other nonsense to flame me on later, and right now I am NOT in the mood for such.

^^^Yeah, I was afraid you were going to come back with something like that...
