Something else I notice is that you liberally throw around the accusation that others are lying to you or lying in general. That is not always the case. Being mistaken about something doesn't mean someone is lying. Lying requires intent to mislead. Also, people don't tend to take kindly to being called a liar when they aren't, in their mind, telling lies or intending to mislead.
Along the same lines, I think having a better understanding about the distinction between fact and opinion would be helpful. I've seen you tout your opinion as fact and then label someone who doesn't agree with your opinion a liar. In those instances, the fault is clearly yours. This isn't meant as an attack against you because I agree that at times you have a legitimate gripe with how people respond to you. However, if you truly want to "fix" this issue it's going to take much more effort on your part. Also, I don't believe I've ever seen you post the words "my mistake, you are correct" when you are proven to be factually wrong about something. You seem to either disappear or ignore the person's post when someone proves you wrong which happens frequently enough. I'm sure it's possible I may have missed it, but I can't recall ever seeing such a post from you and it would go a long way toward repairing your image in some people's eyes I believe. Lastly, please don't take this as an attack against you. This is merely constructive criticism. I appreciate most of your contributions to the board and I don't believe we've ever had any negative exchanges before and there's never been any malice in my responses to you. I'm probably guilty of using sarcasm in some of my responses specifically directed at you and for that I apologize. I won't do it again knowing now that it irritates you so much. I really think adding a nicely worded request to your signature line asking people to please not use sarcasm in responses to you because of your disability would go a long way. I also think if you are able to take to heart what I wrote here and try to apply it at least while on this message board would go a long way as well. You won't ever be able to control or change how other people interact here, you can only control your own actions to the point that your disability allows you to do so and that's where the greatest gains in improving your experience here will be found in my opinion. |
