First - on this notion that if people disagree with me, the cow manure hits the fan automatically;

Not true.

When it does, it's only because it seems to me that the other person is refusing to listen. Not just not agreeing, refusing to listen (or understand - which in certain circumtances comes down to the same thing). This was certainly the case with Dissident on the Umpires thread. Tassie was on that same thread and he handled it a lot better - and I put that down to him actually being an umpire whereas to my knowledge Dissident is not.

If anyone has the time to look through my posts, they will see I am capable of coping with people disagreeing with me. Psyber is a good example of this on the political board. A number of discussions on a variety of subjects have also drawn this reaction from different people.

There are exceptions of course - and they are the subjects where I have extremely strong views. Smoking of course is the example most on this board will remember - I have absolutely no sympathy for it at all and never will, and I will always jump on anyone trying to evoke even a remote note of sympathy for them. It's a filthy disgusting habit that has no reediming features whatsoever - and it kills as well. What happened to Fitzroy is another one - cheifly because they killed at least four grass roots clubs in the process (Fairfield, Collingwood District, Thornbury and Canterbury/North Balwyn) through their grabbing of sponsors money over and above what the local market could handle. Roylion knows this from his previous experience with me on Big Footy, and he sought to milk it for all it was worth - in order to attack me, not defend Fitzroy (contrary to his claims otherwise).

It is Wedgie's refusal to ban Roylion that caused me to decide to leave this board.

I'll just address a few quotes - and BTW I laughed when I saw this thread in detail at the beginning! I had no idea there was another Phil G!

Seriously - doesn't that constitute a troll?
DISSIDENT on SA Footy

If Dissident would just read the article on Lima PCP (he's an Aspie Enemy) he'll see that all I was doing in that respect was responding in kind. As I said in the linked article - he can dish it out but he can't take it.

Seems there are a few people who don't agree with his comments (or people who he doesn't like) around on different sites.
PAFC1870 on SA Footy

The "Sweet Smell of Success" article was about more than just a disagreement. That was internet stalking for two years! Very different to just a disagreement!

but the Enemies section was a bit weak why document every person that you have had an internet biff with and spit the dummy altogether
HEATER31 on SA Footy

Actually, no. Not everyone I've had an internet biff with is there. No one else here (except for Roylion of course) is getting one. I've had a lot of internet biffs. Most of them however have nothing to do with Aspergers (Dissident is a great example again - that was about my umpiring experience - which doesn't make him an Aspie Enemy).

Just on that - an Aspie Enemy is someone who shows direct contempt for an inherent aspect of my disability. For the most part with the Internet, that has been my inherently difference thought processes. With Roylion it was my rote memory in particular for example (which he back flipped on as I mentioned in detail on one of my more recent updates).

The way he has a god-like view on everything and unless you agree, you're wrong.
DISSIDENT on SA Footy

if you come on here and act like a wanker, you're a wanker.
DISSIDENT on SA Footy

I covered these above - and below with DW's quote.

but my symapthy is lessened to those who use it as a constant excuse.
DOGWATCHER on SA Footy

Reason, DW, not excuse. There is a difference. What causes that is a lack of understanding. Now as mentioned it's not easy to understand. I'll be the first to say that. But when people give up out of sheer "he's a wanker" type thinking it's not just people like me with the problem. I think that's what Aerie, Strawb and Rising were all getting at - and I thank them for that as well.

Dissident needs to understand that to me - he was behaving like the very wanker he was accusing me of being.

A real ladies man our Phil!
LIZBEFF EAGLEZ on SA Footy

That's a remark taken out of context that needs to be corrected quick smart. It came from the "Let's just delete the last few days" article about a former friend and fellow Aspie who has it worse than I do. I put a lot of time, effort and money (some of it my wife's) to help her cope with being an Aspie and the family pressures. And for what? To have her try and pull me down to her level of functioning, when I was trying to pull her up to mine so she could cope better.

The bottom line seems to be with him is that you have to agree with him.
SPELL CHECK on SA Footy

Incorrect. And this is something else I covered above.

The Wikipedia article on Aspergers has been referenced and I thoroughly support it. A few quotes came up about this.

Brent quoted the article and bolded "all-absorbing interest in a single topic dominated their conversations." This is a reflection on an Aspie's special interests - and I think everyone here knows that number one on that hit parade is football. But as my Wiki reflects, I do have a lot of others. It has been reflected here as well with wrestling and politics.

Some can use their intellect to correct for the lack of emotional empathy and connection, and some cannot.
PSYBER on SA Footy

This is an excellent quote - and it's right. For me both apply. Sometimes I can - sometimes I can't. It depends on the other person. If I can learn something from them that I can use to make that correction, and can fit it in with what I can accept through my own experience - then I do it. Of course, if the person doesn't help and is rude about it, such a correction becomes impossible. I'm on autopilot when someone is rude to me - and that is to be rude right back.

I'd like to know though, is it actually possible to try and reduce the capacity of the condition?
DISSIDENT on SA Footy

Within oneself - no it's not. It entirely depends on the capacity of others. See what I said about corrections above.

I'll finish with this;

You can't keep signing off the various public forums and retreating in to your own site to avoid people disagreeing with you.
HONDO71 on SA Footy

As stated I did not depart because of a simple disagreement. I departed because I found it neccesary in order to protect myself from the distress being caused by Roylion - and ONLY Roylion. This would have been avoided if Wedgie had booted him as I asked him to - and he did not. Roylion is a major threat to me - bigger than anyone else on this board, because of his troll style pursuance of me. As stated, he'll deny that - but he is lying. The evidence is against him (again - check the article about him on Wiki, including what I added just last night). It doesn't matter if he has "conducted himself well" in the eyes of others. The man is a legit threat to me. And if he remains - I have to go.

And I have.

But if Wedgie changes his mind and boots Roylion - I'll be back in a heartbeat. But if he hasn't done it by now, he won't.
