    All this meeting people off the internet is kinda weird. As is getting upset by perceived attacks and all that stuff.

    To me a forum is just a lot of words and letters on a screen. I suppose there are people behind them, but I never really think about them. I respond to alphanumerical impressions on a keyboard, transformed into rays of light by my computer's monitor.

    If people can get offended by words on a screen typed by a disembodied entity, they are far too sensitive.


    do it again ????????

    Its also harder because we can't assess people's body language to guage their limits,
    That is what gets me ahead... I can't read body language at any time. So now I am the one eyed man in the land of the blind.

    I was at the Doctor's the other day .... and I think there were 2-3 moments at which point I was supposed to pick up the prescription and leave. Then (as I now know I don't see body language and everybody else does) I asked "Am I supposed to leave now?" ... took the Dr by surprise that did.

    She'd concluded our business, handed out a prescription, I was still there; turned her back on me, used her tone of voice and I was still there.... looking back on it, there were quite a few signs, that I never noticed until I spotted that I had probably missed my went ... and checked by actually black/white asking.

    She hadn't told me "You can go now, goodbye", so I had no idea we were finished.

    I'm fairly sure that PN...sound nice and normal.
    I am normal, except my speshulness... but that's quite endearing and once you know it's there it's quite funny to pick up on it and laugh at every faux pas and mishap :)

    Me too!!! I can't read the signs at all. Probably why I have been accused of rape so often.




    tbh - I'm not too sure how that comment is going to be received.
