Is it my A/S or ?
I am new to this format and subsequently trying to figure out just exactly where to post seems very daunting. And as such, may post in incorrectly.
If so, I would hope that a staff member would bring it to my attention by informing me as to the correct area to re-post.
My understanding of this format based on the variety of subject in a variety of categories that it's a place one can "Sound off", "Vent" "Discus" ones "Opinion". If I understand correctly, one has the choice by posting a new subject, category or replying to an existing one. Well here goes!
When it comes to replying to a post, I believed from my understanding of the rules, that I am able to voice an "Opinion" in regards to that particular post. And there is to be arguing or debating, and if such has been deemed, there can and will be possible consequences
.
From what I understand by reading various post and retorts from the moderators (staff) is that this site is part in part to assist individuals diagnosed either officially or by one self having Asperger's Syndrome. And after reading here and else where what A/S is; I have come to the conclusion that I apparently for a great number of years have A/S. It is my contention now, though it is not an excuse nor an apology that it is my A/S which causes me to be so literal, which when it comes to someone's else's "Opinion" can be considered objectionably. And as such, if the throng brings their opinion of my opinion to the attention of the staff and or it is the opinion of the staff, there are possible consequences.
I am quoting the post prior to this one it is only an example.
You're wrong about your opinion. If you're wrong about your opinion, you're probably wrong about more opinions. If you're wrong about more opinions, you're wrong about a lot of things. If you're wrong about a lot of things, you're probably wrong about almost everything. This throws your entire character into question.
I think it has something to do with the "taking it literally" aspect. Unless it's specifically stated that a disagreement is not an attack on my character, I tend to by default take that defensive position and defend my opinion as if the integrity of my character absolutely depends on it.
Using a dictionary the term "Opinion" states:
o·pin·ion
[uh-pin-yuh
n]
1. A belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
2. A personal view, attitude, or appraisal.
Understanding English I take that to mean in general:
An opinion is a judgment, viewpoint, or statement about matters commonly considered to be
subjective, i.e. based on that which is less than absolutely certain, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. What distinguishes fact from opinion is that facts are verifiable, i.e. can be
objectively proven to have occurred.
Example: "America was involved in the Vietnam War"
versus "America was right to get involved in the Vietnam War".
An opinion may be supported by facts, in which case it becomes an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. It can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analyzing the supporting arguments.
In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person or person(s) perspective and or understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact.
Thus an opinion of an opinion via visual, verbal, or in text form can by nature and is by any stretch of the word be considered argumentative which when performed in an intellectually manner which excludes the use of any profanity (also called bad language, strong language, foul language, bad words, vulgar, swearing, cursing, cussing, or using expletives.
is considered a debate and against the rules.
I recon' being the literal self I am (dam my A/S) I could, would and do find a great deal of the material (posts) i.e. the quote I inserted as above which I again state is only as an example. personally objectionable. And as such could spend hours, contesting such to the staff. I am but one individual
, considering the number of other members that "Could" do the same; would cause the staff to perform their appointed duties by utilizing their authority and deal out consequences, which could an quite possibly
lead to the elimination
or purpose of this site.
Ones ideology comes from a variety of sources, i.e. education, experiences etc., it is one ideology that sets them apart from any other. It is makes one different than everyone else. Although one can share similar ideology
with another, it is never exactly the same. Which gives way to "Opinion" . A/S is now part of my ideology. The diagnosis of A/S does not change ones ideology
, but cause it to be understood if by no one else, themselves. Regardless of its reason via education or my life's experiences which now contains my diagnosis, it is my ideology where I have reached the contention
that if " I " perceive anything that comes in contact with one or more of my five basic senses to be objectionable, i.e. TV programming, Radio programming, Second, Third party conversations, Pornography
, etc. It is up to me to alleviate my distress and no one else. Somewhere in my 65 years I learned to deal with objectionable Audio and Video materials I didn't like by, to coin a phrase, "Turn the channel.
If everyone has total and unequivitable rights, then no one has rights.
Though it may be in the wrong, spot, thanks for allowing me to vent.
