In my recent travelling of chat rooms.... I came acromm this man....very rude, crass...self destructive. Everyone thought he was an ass....and in truth he was being an ass. But to me, something didn't seem quite right. Sometimes I sense things in people over then net. And something wasn't right... My mothering instincts set in, and I started talking to him...getting to know more. I found out that he has what is known as Aspergers Syndrome. The closest condition they can compare it to is a very mild form of autism. It limits his abilities in social situations. (I then read on it some) And it causes him to act out when otherwise is not needed... He misunderstands others words, and others misunderstand his.. Chat room disaster if people dont' understand the why behind that what. Perhaps, instead of saying someone's work sucks, and they're an ass.....you might wanna try to find out why they behave the way they do... Not every ass is an ass because thet choose to be, but because they do not know how to be something else. This Unicorn guy, may just be one of those guys, who has some type of condition that limits his abilities. It is obvious that his english is somewhat lacking, but that could be from translation, or from something else. Perhaps a few years ago, he could not do more than a doodle, and this is amazing progress... My point is this.... Until someone actually talks to him, rationally, and without hatred....with an OPEN mind, without backing him into a corner... Do we really know the facts behind what is being said?? Just something to think about..... Jen
