    PN ... 'specialness' ... Asperger's
    Yes
    She is however very funny, and often her humour is of sarcastic and pessimistic nature. (which is generally a well used tone here)

    She is generally a to the point kind of person. I don't get the impression she will have meant to cause offence to anyone.
    All entirely correct.
    :)

    Thank you.

    PN has said before that her 'specialness' makes it hard for her to appreciate if she has caused offence, I think. I don't want to put words in her mouth though and accept I might have misconstrued the nature of her....'affliction' (? is that offensive, I want to say Asperger's but cant recall if thats actually what she has?).

    That's not good enough LIR - As AD9898 says let's just do what we always do and make this 10 threads of [STRIKE]arguments[/STRIKE] discussions :)

    My role is pretty much always trying to get you rotters to stop so you can get on withthe sensible stuff it and I can learn something.
  • I know about Aspergers. I understand. But I'm still right *runs*

    I know how bad the housing market is too; my grandparents died and we cannot sell their house because of just how dire the market is (it's not in London so its not so easy!) and we're all struggling for money, and having to pay council tax on this property we also have to take time to maintain in the hope we can eventually sell it. It's not easy.

    Poor FE!! she only popped in to stick up for Martin... (who as the creator of the site should be allowed to suggest people stop using the site if they dont like whats happening) i should point out that although PN may be respected or whatever in this forum FE is also a highly respected MSE'er ( as every mse'er should be!) and has been thanked over 39.000 times for her posts and comments and support. now lets all get over this little disagreement ( preferably quicker then the 10 pages ad98 suggested! lol)
    keep smiling!! :-)
    I can only please one person a day.... Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either!!

    to be fair to the guys that have been responding to you they're not really to blame.
    it was the guys before them...

    as for martin - he has his own agenda. i'm sure that he can stick up for himself and take whatever action he believes he needs to take.

    only 7 more pages of [strike]arguments[/strike] discussions to go :)
