Doing everything exactly opposite from "The Mainstream" is the same thing as doing everything exactly like "The Mainstream."  You're still using What Everyone Else is Doing as your primary point of reference.

Unnecessary defensiveness.

nah, mine was a self defeating ironic hostility.

WARNING DULL FORUM ANALYSIS FOLLOWS:

I don't really give a shit, I was interested in how some people treat would this thread. You're right to whine about the boring "not cool enough" circlejerk bullshitshit *cough*Iason Ouabache*cough* but in other places you have proven your opinion to be pretty worthless so it follows that people would act accordingly, and they are generally right to do so.

Wait a second, 2 posts?

No, fuck you. You're not cool enough to do this yet.
this post I agree with what you are implying to an extent. However the implication you are making only relates to very few members of the forum.

No, no, no,
I was referring to my unnecessary defensiveness instead of being flamed. I was implying it instead of actually performing it.
That was the joke to begin with, right?
meh.

True enough, but there was at least some kind of failed attempt at a joke here, right?

BADGE OF HONOR

Individuals with AS experience difficulties in basic elements of social interaction, which may include a failure to develop friendships or to seek shared enjoyments or achievements with others (for example, showing others objects of interest), a lack of social or emotional reciprocity, and impaired nonverbal behaviors in areas such as eye contact, facial expression, posture, and gesture.

Unlike those with autism, people with AS are not usually withdrawn around others; they approach others, even if awkwardly, for example by engaging in a one-sided, long-winded speech about a favorite topic while being oblivious to the listener's feelings or reactions, such as signs of boredom or haste to leave.

Pursuit of specific and narrow areas of interest is one of the most striking features of AS.  Individuals with AS may collect volumes of detailed information on a relatively narrow topic such as dinosaurs or deep fat fryers, without necessarily having genuine understanding of the broader topic.

Although individuals with Asperger syndrome acquire language skills without significant general delay and their speech typically lacks significant abnormalities, language acquisition and use is often atypical.  Abnormalities include verbosity, abrupt transitions, literal interpretations and miscomprehension of nuance, use of metaphor meaningful only to the speaker, auditory perception deficits, unusually pedantic, formal or idiosyncratic speech, and oddities in loudness, pitch, intonation, prosody, and rhythm.

Children with AS may have an unusually sophisticated vocabulary at a young age and have been colloquially called "little professors", but have difficulty understanding figurative language and tend to use language literally.  Children with AS appear to have particular weaknesses in areas of nonliteral language that include humor, irony, and teasing.  Although individuals with AS usually understand the cognitive basis of humor they seem to lack understanding of the intent of humor to share enjoyment with others.

The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".
