One thing that strikes me... I could have written much of this in the mid '90's when I had similar issues happen on Usenet newsgroups. And then again on public mailing lists. And now I'm watching history repeat on blogs and such (which, with commenting and threading and so n are becoming like re-invented usenet groups...) Anyway back then, because I had used my real name (no one in those days imagined what the Internet would become), I actually wound up with physical, credible threats to my personal safety. I withdrew from everything online for several years, then slowly came back online with an pseudonym and I take care to make sure as little info about me goes online these days. But time goes on, puts things (even flames, yes) into more perspective. It would be interesting to see what you think of all this 10 years later. It’s hard to say.

I understand you aren't saying they actualy have it, but let's just call it what it is- being a dick. MAYBE they are handicapping themselves. maybe your right. but these people seem to be a lot worse effected than people WITH aspergers are. Maybe the term we should use is a simple one- moron. you know, on the topic of internet-aspergers,
