    I think it was obvious. Genuinely asking everybody that downvoted… What wrong with the comment? I am actually surprised he was considered straight.

      So, when I told my family that I thought I had autism, my brother blurted out “you think?” It was demeaning and it hurt me.

      Now imagine instead it wasn’t something I didn’t know about myself, but rather something I was hiding and felt it was time to open up about. Beyond cruel to be so callous.

      This man hid this part of himself away, and didn’t tell the world until after he had passed away. He made it his dying wish to show this part of himself. And the reaction is to say it was obvious? Like, the fuck? That’s an inside thought, not something you say out loud.

          And? It’s called being respectful. That reaction makes me real concerned for anyone you call a friend though… are you so willing to talk about them the second they’re not around to see it?

          Have some basic respect, dude.

            Peewee Herman doesn’t care if I’m respectful towards him on account of him being dead. You keep fighting the good fight for him though!

              I don’t care about Peewee Herman, I care about you following the basic rules of the sidebar. If you want to talk about someone, keep it respectful, especially when they’ve not done a damn thing to you.

                Is pointing out that a dead person cannot feel feelings or have thoughts disrespectful? I don’t think so.

                  I’m using the royal you there in reference to this entire comment chain and how you are indeed starting to cross the line with defending actions that very easily could be construed as violating the second rule. And they have been. Which is why they were removed.

                  You are walking on some very thin ice with this. Knock it the hell off. Take the lesson gracefully and move on.

                    There is no lesson to be had, the only thing I have stated in this comment chain is that dead people don’t have feelings. You can be upset at me stating that, or restating it for you several times. Go ahead and ban me bro I promise I don’t care enough to post on that power tripping page, I’ll just move on with my life. Have a good one!
