He needs to learn social and communication skills, as well as coping mechanisms to the best of his ability just like anyone else in order to have healthy relationships, and function in society. IMO, the backlash he got for calling ShellB that word was totally justified, and I hope that in the future he will reconsider its derogatory connotation here in the States before using it so flippantly. He did not care for that backlash so he chose to leave of his own free will. All that being said...(June 3, 2018 at 6:06 am)LadyForCamus Wrote: Yes, you’re right. That was careless of me.

Whoa, what?!
And no, Ofc I’m not blaming you for someone else calling you a cunt. I think I’ve made it pretty clear to the community and to him that that was a horrible, derogatory thing to say to you. My point was that he isn’t the only one who stirs the drama pot. I guess I misread your post to him, because it seemed to me you were comparing him to EP. Whether or not that would constitute stirring the pot is an entirely separate issue from his ability to handle discussing the guy, but if you say that’s not what you were doing then I will take you at your word.
Agreed with all this. To him, I said "You csnt say that, that's totally uncalled for and innapropriate", and to the others I say "You know he has autism and a tendency to go off the rails, so don't provoke him."
So to those saying "why should *I* tip toe around him to prevent him from acting out?" I say this again - a person can only control their own actions, not those of anyone else.
But then again, that's just my opinion. If both sides want to continue to perpetuate drama, that's their choice.
...it does seem to me at times, that the people who complain the most about his outbursts are the same people who bait him into arguments. That is a choice as well. Now, obviously I’m not in every thread every day, and I don’t see every fight that happens, so I freely admit I could be missing important context here. I could be wrong. I’m just saying that’s how it appears from my end.
