Let us, as fine free thinking individuals, all consider for a moment that IANAR may in fact have some disease. Surely, there must be something wrong with them. Let us also admit, that a mental illness could, in some cases be more debilitating than some physical ones. IANAR appears to be an extreme case of something, at least in my opinion.
To that end, I think I have a solution to our problems. We need a visible sign, much like existing handicapped signs, for all of IANAR's posts. Thus, we will be able to distinguish its posts from all of the myriad of not-IANAR posts, so that we can, uh, apply a "different set of standards" to their posts.
I recommend something like:

I blame science for the whole fucking shooting match.
Back in the good old days we'd call them all retards and sit them on a wall outside the village and laugh at them.
But then science came along, sticking it's analytical nose in where it wasn't wanted and classifying all these fucks into syndromes and disorders and all sorts of diagnosable and treatable shit.
Scientists killed the fucking funnay :argh!:
(http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb163/wompcabal/socially_handicapped.jpg)
srsly though, if IANAR wants people with chemical imbalances to get special treatment, I think we should treat him like a short bus kid.
Most people with disabilities I've met want to fit in, and they don't want their status used as some sort of social crutch. He's using his aspergers as a means of getting pity(?) so people will give him room to flip out at all of us. Fuck thaaaaaaaaat, you can either use the stairs like the rest of us, or you can use the wheelchair ramp. But if you take the ramp, don't expect to be picked first for the PD Calvinball team.
(http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e160/otherside0009/Calvinball.jpg)
Everyone has something wrong with them. Man up and get on with your life!
and the thing is, in real life, I'm generally really nice to the less fortunate. I'm totally sympathetic to people who have chemical imbalances. But not while they're screaming at me and telling me how immoral I am.
Last night, someone was telling me about a friend who had Asperger's. Said person was hanging out with some people, and somebody touched her boob. I forget whether in the story this was humorous or uncomfortable. But the next day she was ranting to people about how she was raped.
Friends took the person aside and said, "listen, we know you like the attention, but you can't just go around saying you've been raped."
This is an example where the person's condition caused them to say something awful about someone, and what they said could ruin someone's life. Asperger's does not excuse this. Nobody wants to be known as a rapist.
ehhhhhhhh I'm preaching to the choir I think
Seriously. She should have just slugged the guy and moved on. People will always get shat upon by other people. Fuck em.

If it wants special treatment, let it go make it's own board, with it's own rules. I mean damn. Is this the summer of stupid?
This thread reminds of why I FUCKING LOVE POSTING HERE.
I said it before and I'll say it again, "Pee Dee dawt Com is the FRIENDLIEST place on earth. srsly."
On Topic: I don't understand this bullshit about making allowances for other people's lack of ability. Of course, I' m jaded. Back in grade school I got saddled with teaching the retards because they ran out of things in my grade level to teach me. I got to teach these fuckwits how to write. There was this one spastic fuck with OCD that I took a particular hatred to. He absolutely refused to write with a pencil that wasn't sharp enough to perform open heart surgery. So after three days of his bullshit I took away his pencil and gave him a crayon. Fucker went ape shit, broke a chair and punched a teacher in the mouth before it was all over. I never laughed so hard at school in my life.
Phosphor, I totally empathize with you there. I only wish I'd been able to have as much fun when I got forcibly paired with the special kids. Instead, I became clinically depressed in the fourth fucking grade under the watchful eye of my mentally abusive teacher who hated my mom because she taught several kids how to read outside of school. I never understood what it was she expected of me when she plopped me next to the mentally disabled kid who smelled bad, only that she kept tormenting me whenever I was minding my own business.
Huzzah for "special ed"...
I think you were expected to either sexually abuse it or jab a pointy stick through its eyeball into the soft squishy useless tissue it stores there. It's okay. You can't kill Syndrome-of-a-Down with brain trauma. No brain = no pain. I like to lump all the short bus types under the moniker "retard" and use the term liberally in public. I was once told that I was being "politically incorrect". That's an exact quote. I never thought anybody acutally used the term in conversation before, but there it was. I was so surprised that I couldn't stop laughing.
So what's the deal with ass purgers' syndrome? Chronic addiction to laxatives and enemas? Or what is that exactly? Because when I worked as a pharmacy tech we had tons of tweakers come in buying shit loads of Dexatrim and Ducolax. Maybe they had the same thing.

We have that in reverse, I think. The papers over here keep complaining about some mythical Political Correctness Brigade who only seem to exist in their fevered imaginations. Maybe that was a founding member or something?

A thought:
When someone has no legs, they call them "challenged" (or "crippled," but go with me on this one).
The point being that they need to come up with solutions of how to function in a world designed for people with two legs.
That is to say, while some places might have ramps, the majority of their experiences are essentially "work-arounds" for the bipedal shit they encounter every day.
The point being that the majority of the time it is up to them to overcome their obstacles.
Now, let's make a parallel metaphor and say that a person with Asperger's on the Internet is the equivalent of a guy with no legs on the street.
What I'm getting from IANAR is that someone with AS can act like a douchebag, and not even realize they're doing so. Their potential douchey-ness is like a blind spot, they can't even recognize it.
But what they can recognize is that the potential for douchebaggery is there. And there's the solution.
With every post should come some sort of self-doubt-- not about the message, but about the medium. Variations on, "I may sound like a douchebag, but..." should pepper IANAR's posts.
If IANAR's aware of a problem that exists soley in people with AS, then it is up to the person with AS to overcome that problem.
I understand that a person with AS might not be able to help sounding douchetastic, but they can at least send out signals indicating they know they're sounding douchey.
Well, except that (at least in my experience) they can know when they sound like that, its a good point.
Yeah, but I was trying to take it from IANAR's stance. I'm 65% sure s/he knows which lines sound particularly nasty, but just in case, I played it safe.
Pfft.
I have a solution to this injustice.

I would like to point out that I have AS, and am not nearly as spagtastic as IANAR. (Not that I'm not a spag of course, but IANAR is special) Screw excuses.

See, without you telling me that, I would not have guessed it. Nor can I remember you having any problems with anyone else on the site (in fact, I tend to consider you one of the calmer and better posters, if anything). IANAR is just an excuse-using spag.

Can't tell, because you're not a big dumb jerk.
I actually think that when IANAR says "Aspergers" he means "Big Dumb Jerk syndrome" because none of the people I know with Aspergers, online and off, are big dumb whiny jerks.
It doesn't come out as much over the internet, everybody is equally confused socially here, the rules are all wrong for communication without faces of vocal tones (the things I tend to miss, and have trouble controlling).
I've know a few of the asshole types, especially when I was working with Autism spectrum kids. Anybody who hasn't had treatment yet, or whose parents used the diagnosis as an excuse for the behavior (well, the wrong kind of excuse, certain things are unavoidable) instead of an avenue of treatment, is probably going to have issues as an adult, if not for being an asshole, then for something else.
