    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!

                    No, your opening comment and the point of contention was you saying “It’s not like he’s here now reading the comment”. I am not taking the other comments into account because the first one was the one that violated the rule and what his entire comment chain has been about, no matter how much you want to keep trying to move the goalposts. You were being overly vague and defending actions that were violating the second rule. It really is as simple as that. The comments following up where you are talking about him being dead? Do not violate the rules. It is as simple as that.

                    If you want to consider that power tripping to ask the subscribers of the community to follow the hyper basic and listed rules, then you will not be missed. I’m not banning you however because nothing rose to that occasion. I was giving you a warning and you decided to overreact in a dramatic fashion. It also is as simple as that.

                    If you want to engage with the community in future, keep to the rules. That is all I’m asking. If you cannot do that, go back to reddit.
