no, he's just suffering from dementia loves

Yeah but even if found that funny. That's not victimisation :P

what does this thread have to do with victimisation?!

I have no idea. Someone asked if I was victimised. I answered them.

I grew to like Griff quite a bit in the end, but he really didn't help himself. I don't think it was a group mentality or witch hunt that went on against him, rather more a manifestation of frustration from posters who could see that he had a lot to contribute and yet often resorted to attention-seeking nonsense instead.

 

I'm sad that he no longer posts here.

Haus, he's flopped hard and is failing to win anything.

I liked Griff, he was never simply a troll as he always balanced things with some sporadically brilliant posts.

We have countless people on this forum with Aspergers. To my mind, none of them has behaved the way Griff did. It's a bit patronising to put all of his behaviour in that box, especially considering he could be really fucking needlessly rude on purpose once he got a real snooty complex about this place.

 

You seem to forget that everyone is different and reacts differently based on their environment and what they've been through in their lives.

 

I seem to be a marmite figure on here. People either really like me or dislike me, which I'm cool about as everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course. You people have never met me so I don't take them to heart. But I was a bit f***ed up a lot of the time when I was posting on Buzzjack, and I stopped posting here because it seemed to feed a negative insecurity that I had about myself. Once I kind of calmed down, it's right - my impression of the forum has gotten less as time has gone on, because I think it's full of bullshit. But I stayed more due to the few great posters here that I really wish I'd stayed in touch with.

 

If I'm (objectively) non-descript, then I don't mind because at the end of the day, I'm being who I am and I would not feel comfortable any other way.

 

And I'm feeling fantastic at the moment.

 

Welcome home, Griff :cheer:

No, I don't seem to forget. I was saying that people can't solely attribute your behaviour to 'having Aspergers', which is really patronising on their part when it comes to all of the other posters here with Aspergers. That implicitly recognises that there are other factors involved. Not least because your behaviour for the last few months you were on here didn't at all correlate with the ways Aspergers' is recognised to affect people, even with its variations - it wasn't the social awkwardness and unintentional rudeness from accidental breach of social convention that typically comes with it, it was just wilful intentional rudeness and snottiness. Aspergers isn't a get-out card for that.

I didn't match my behaviour with Asperger's (I actually have high functioning autism) intentionally, but more with my personality. Although I've talked briefly about my impression of the forum, I understand that I was perhaps a bit too dismissive of posters for the last few months I posted regularly here, so in retrospect I apologise. There are things I said that perhaps were better off not said.

Great to see you post again.

I didn't match my behaviour with Asperger's (I actually have high functioning autism) intentionally, but more with my personality.

Hence why I was making the point to the other posters attributing it to that!

griff nice 2 see ur doing well! don't be a stranger and wait for me to keep hitting u up

I wish you'd come back and post more Tom, I have actually missed you quite a lot.

Echoing the above.

It was a group mentality witch hunt, you're right. That's exactly what it was!!!

 

He's one of the best posters here. Just a lot of jealous sassy Susans runnin aboot this place like a pack of rabid dogs.

That was literally the opposite point of the one he made. Learn to read.
