If that's where you're going to go with this, then please just stay off of this thread entirely. A bigger person would've have apologized about 10 posts back, for petes sake, Taylor. |

You are not the only person to whom BIG life things are happening...we are all human beings here with sick family members, people dying, sick pets, financial issues, child care issues, job issues - whatever it is. I'm sorry about your grandfather, but that is not an excuse to make it okay to treat others poorly. No, not here. If you want to behave like that in your real life, fine, do it -- but not here. Enough is enough. I understand death and life - my Mom died when I was 21 - I didn't use that as an excuse to treat others in any sort of way. If you cannot handle being here right now and being decent toward others, then please take a break from YT. |

So what if you once apologized to someone and they didn't accept it the way you wanted? Is the apology for YOU or for them?? My goodness, I would sure hope it's for them, end of story. You don't stop apologizing to folks bc you don't like how they receive it! You apologize bc you're sorry. Yes, ACTIONS mean something -- so we're asking that you please act in a better manner toward others. You're not a victim in this situation, Taylor. You've been part of the problem here - so please, now, just be part of the solution instead as you go forward. Please, let this just be the end of it. Enough has been said and it needed to be said. |

Taylor, one of the hardest things for people on the spectrum is to know what social behaviors are appropriate and how they are received by others. I think Ann is wanting you to "get" something you can't get. I hope we all can learn more tolerance for one another, every one of us! |
I think there's a difference between "getting it" and "owning your actions". If Taylor can start a thought by saying I'm probably going to get banned for replying but I do feel it's important to defend myself then she's also capable of thinking I'm probably going to upset the OP by replying but I feel it's important to state my opinion. Perhaps someone who has an undiagnosed, but self assumed possible mental illness should slow themselves down a little in the thought/action process. If a thread was created that was inviting people to read an article about how delicious dogs taste (an outrageous example) I would probably think to myself "that OP is crazy" and not involved myself and click the next thread. Why is the involvement so necessary to those who don't agree with the original post or the article the person posted? |

I'd personally prefer shorter more positive threads but that's just me. Some of the threads posting articles probably don't even need responses at all. |

As far as tolerance, yes, of all people Taylor should understand tolerance as more than a fair share has been given her here at YT. We're asking that she also give that to others in return. Quote:
I should also note, as far as illnesses that people have here at YT -- it is *not* YT's responsibility or goal to keep track of and make exceptions as a result of a known or unknown, diagnosed or undiagnosed illness. People need to behave decently here no matter what, period. We won't make exceptions for that. |

I think Ann's post confused you. I don't think anyone here thinks you are a bad person. |

It's probably best we close this as it's gotten completely off topic and it doesn't appear it will go back on topic again. In a nutshell, let it be known that YT welcomes its members to post here, and that we all need to be understanding toward what other people may find helpful and interesting -- we don't need to stand in judgment of what others want to post about or be derogatory about the information shared or the source itself. We need to be decent and supportive, or just don't post at all, end of story. |
