She struggles because she is constantly trying to figure out everyone's over the top sarcasm. Everyone know's she doesn't decipher it, but it continues. She constantly asks literal questions to silly comments and then she gets bashed for asking those questions which is what she's being baited to do! 

 

She's blunt as a hammer, but that's part of the situation she deals with. The difference is, her bluntness and or seeming rudeness is oblivious to her, unlike everyone else who does it purposefully. 

 

I know this is the internet and it's a cruel place, but there are people on the other side of those keyboards.

I don't see attention whoring on that list. Maybe it should be.

 

And, again, here we are talking about her.

I think the issue many have, and we've had this discussion before, is the tact that is used in her responses to people and then what she expects to be used back to her.  Many times she is rude and crass back to people and there are many many people here that tread lightly with her because they know her situation, but there is only so much some people here are going to take. 

 

There are also people on this message board that just don't care...it is after all a public message board.  If it upsets someone so much then this may not be the place for her...its a message board made up primarily of males that come here and talk football.  They are bound to be a bit crude occasionally.  I wouldn't go to a primarily female message board and expect to change the culture.

#toegate.  Awesome.

 

JW brings most of this upon herself.  Her matter of fact, know it all posts (100's at a time) get old, especially when they are dead [BLEEP] wrong the majority of the time.

 

There are all kinds of other forums on the net to interact with others sharing Asperger's traits.  They might better understand the Joey Bosa lovefest...

UCF, I have stated many times the reason I keep posting here is I have nobody else to chat about the Jaguars with. That is what keeps bringing me back. Fans of other teams don't treat me like crap but they have no interest in Jacksonville. I just want friends who like the Jaguars. If we could somehow get along better and stop acting like enemies, I would not think about starting my annual hiatus before the draft.

I personally believe JW is actually a dude that is playing all of us and just laughing behind the computer.


Weird, but that's what I think. Someone actually can't be that dumb, right?

Why do you think that? How smart or stupid you are has nothing to do with your gender.

Does that make me a troll?

No, gender does not dictate intellect.  Stupidity runs rampant among all 60+ genders.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I contend the best trolls are those who don't even know it themselves.  It's less contrived that way.

So if we all start acting like enemies you'll take a permanent hiatus sooner?

If it's not contrived is it still trolling? Isn't the motive part of what makes a good troll?

Not permanent. I will just start it earlier - shortly after Super Bowl 50.

I survived the Gus Bradley Error.

My theory is this is some elaborate movie being filmed and we are all subjects. The movie will be filmed over a 10 year period about a person playing a character on a message board(s) and the interaction they receive. It will be Catfish on steroids.

 

This post will probably make it in the film as they show someone is on to them.

 

The movie will go onto some film festivals and be viewed as ground-breaking.
