- Thanks for the welcome! I could get hooked on this you know... AvB 19:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
You could. It's called Wikipediholicism and I'm a patient. But it's great fun. JFW | T@lk 20:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. I know how to be a patient ~:-) AvB ÷ talk 21:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Asperger syndrome
I'm comparatively new here and haven't participated in any debate here before, so if this isn't formatted right, I'm sorry.
I am becoming severely irritated at what I have added about the science-fiction/Asperger thing being removed as supposedly anti-Aspie. I am not, having both ADHD and a lesser case of AS myself, and with a son similarly afflicted.
I am anti-cultural bigotry. There is a long, established history of science fiction being regarded as "that crazy Buck Rogers stuff", with a similar lack of regard for those who read it. This whole "that explains the science fiction weirdos -- they all have a personality deficit disorder" attitude is a slam which stains anyone who is a fan of the genre, and it is NOT "neutral point of view" to let a bigotry, even one held by a professional in the field, go unremarked-upon. Try substituting some other group for Star Trek fans in Attwood's remark, like Jews or blacks or Democrats, and see if it still sounds harmless.

- See the compromise I proposed on the Asperger syndrome discussion page where you also posted the above, and my response on your Talk page. AvB ÷ talk 03:24, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
