Luna Bliss Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Or, what signs would you need to see that demonstrates they are unable to process emotions easily? Or, what would we need to see that demonstrates they aren't the brightest crayon in the box? Or, what might it mean if a person tend to blame others and not take responsibility for their actions?

Well that would take some thought, since I try very hard NOT to analyze and diagnose people on the forums. Not to mention that many of the typical autism signs either wouldn't show in a standard forum post or would also apply to many other socially inept conditions. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not diagnosing or attempting to analyze anything deliberately. I just see it, and I know then what I can/cannot expect of them for the most part. And so I would not criticize them if they can't help their behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatogateau Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 My past epic troll in the old forums, claimed she was a clinical psychiatrist, so an MD/PhD. It was later revealed, by herself, that this was not true. Not even a PhD. I believe she had a bachelor's in something. Gosh, people can claim all sorts of things and training on the Interwebs, can't they? What I do know is that any professional, with any standing at all, with any degree of competence, does NOT attempt to, even in jest, diagnose random strangers on the Internet. They do not. Nor do they speculate. Talk about bad practice! That's pretty much the definition of it right there. If one does diagnose over, say, a forum format, especially done without permission and in public, at BEST what you have is an extremely incompetent and disreputable professional. This type of "faux doctoring" behavior in itself can be triggering (meaning that in the true sense as applied to mental health) and damaging to people who are compromised. Speaking for only myself, I have learned my PTSD can absolutely be triggered by certain things on the Internet and in this forum. I've generally posted when that has happened, as when triggered I do tend to post differently. Faux doctoring doesn't trigger me, but I can well imagine it can others. More cognitive dissonance being shown there by the faux doctors. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, people should not diagnose others on the internet. But if I see a pattern of behavior that fits with something I know, and I deem a person unable to protect themselves as well as others attacking them due to my knowledge, I will protect them. I've never studied somebody taking Candy from a baby, but I sure saw an idiot person cut in front of my then young daughter at a concession stand just because this woman knew she could get away with it due to my daughter being a child. And you better believe this woman got a piece of my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatogateau Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) So, back to being on topic and restating my pet peeve, and that is LL allowing a pejorative, hostile, personal attack "member status" to remain up 24/7. I think this recent sub thread shows I'm not wrong in my assessment.

Luna Bliss Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Anyway, GatCat, I hope you are over your hurt feelings regarding my BullyBee Watcher title, and know for sure it only applies to anyone I see being a bully. I must get to RL, though it's hard to tear myself away from such productivity and fun... * oh, I see you are not over it. Well....if I don't see any bullying for awhile guess I'll have to take it down, find another title...so it should all work out it seems...

Gatogateau Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 PET PEEVE: (will try to make this SL related somehow) We had snow in May. Snow. It is still May. It is now in the 90s F. I have to run my A/C. Spring? What spring? Ummmm... this peeves me in SL because my computer is too close to the window A/C and so now I'm freezing on my left side, and this hampers my ability to use a mouse and keyboard effectively in SL. Second Pet Peeve: Totally Forum related. I can't spell and so my text box is constantly festooned with squiggly little red lines to taunt me for my stupidity. ZOMG, this software! I click on the misspelled word and half the time I don't get the correct spelling option but the popup for undo/cut etc. Click click, finally get the spelling option and unless I click and slowly hold the click over the word, it doesn't grab, and if I don't click and slowly hold the corrected word it doesn't correct. I have never used another program that does this. Ever. Never. Anywhere. It is enough to make me say eff it and just send the drafts through with the effed up spellings and typos. That would be scary and elicit a bunch of "wait, wut?" replies. I'd start sounding like ... yeah, no, not gonna name names... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your choice of melodramatic ultra-sensual singer&songwriter tune does not match my mood to set things on fire, because the credits aren't listed anyway. 🤬 Oh my god that bugs the absolute dickens out of me.

Wrong way to get people. UGH! I haven't had that happen yet. Hope I don't. That would annoy the heck out of me. NO ONE likes that, which makes me wonder why the DJs or anyone would do that. Sure, you might pick up a couple of followers, but really peeve a bunch of others. Since no one likes having that done, and DJs are any ones, a little bit of self awareness might be nice. ew ew ew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
