    Don't worry about it, Abokasee... the EB team is clinically insane.

    I don't think this is funny, not at all.

    In the first place I have been brought up to think it impolite to gossip about someone behind their back. This goes especially for topics that concern someones psychology: such remarks can be really hurt the person in question, both in a psychological and in a real way.

    Secondly, I have a close relative that is an Aspberger and while he can act decidely odd, it is not funny. Certainly not for him.

    There are so many things I could say right now, none of which would help.

    I was not intending to insult Abokasee in any way. He is an unusual fellow, and what is said about him is in good fun.

    It might be easier for me to joke and/or talk about someone's mental condition because I, myself, have a problem with Tourette's Syndrome, and I don't give a good goddamn if someone cracks a joke about Tourette's Syndrome, because I am perfectly secure about it. Obviously, you are not.

    Well, anyway, this appears to have gone the way of the Bartix thread... already. Good job, buddy. Way to keep up the humorous atmosphere.

    You are not exactly helping either. I understand this thread was meant funny, but I don't think the subject (mental disability) is.
