Got about 2-3 sentences in, skimmed it, threw up into my shirt. Haven't been back since.

Autism speaks, apparently, and I want it to shut up.

As the father of an Autistic child that is mostly non verbal that comment is highly offensive.

That is ban worthy in my opinion, it's sickening that immature people feel it's humorous to take jabs at the expense of the disabled.

This forum just reached an all time low for me.  :(

+1 one the ban. But it not the forum, it's that dude. This board has awesome people in it.

Just skipped through all 173 posts from WindDrake and I don't see any other times he showed this type of behaviour. As ridiculous a comment it is, it warrants an apology, lesson learned and all of us move on. I think it was a temporary lack of judgement. I find his normal posts to be extremely helpful and intelligent.  :dunno

the board I used to visit frequently (not arcade related) the ban hammer is usually temporary. I am not the one to call for it lightly though, and I have seen a lot. Maybe this hits too close to home...

Only a select few like yourself, DGP and LMCGadgets know how hard it is to raise an Autistic child, I just don't get the sense from his previous posts that he was intentionally being hateful, I think it was just poorly chosen words.

Don't personally know him, so I could be wrong.

Edit: I hope I didn't mis-represent Harrison's condition LMC. I know he has some troubles that you guys are working through and I am almost positive you said he was Autistic, if not, sorry about that.

CraftyMech:
Ok, this thread escalated quickly...

I naively created this topic as a light-hearted jab at a nut-job on Reddit.

Moderators, please close this thread as the discussion regarding my original post has run its course.

Yet you continue to :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah: and troll/antagonize Haze.   :tool:

BTW, I assume Saint is the one that modded your sig and that you still don't understand why.   ::)

Haze is not being antagonized, just held accountable for his actions.  I modded my sig BTW.  Glad to see that the stupid are being well represented.  Keep up the good work.    :applaud:

I stand corrected on that one point.
