    For more context, he asked me to disengage from the direct messages he sent me, using the same method of dropping "disengaged" in the middle of messages in order to get the last word in.

    I don't understand why he doesn't just block me if he doesn't want to see me.

        Also their explanation leaves out they did actually violate the rule and were banned for some time as a result, meaning they knew extremely well not to talk to me. They just wanted this kind of response because they adore attention online. We all do, don't get me wrong. But I'd just rather talk about some real shit for the rest of our time here. 😚

        As always, it is very interesting seeing when someone becomes "a chud" here and when it is epic and cool to treat people certain ways.

        I like how a fourth random person has already showed up to clarify there is no clarity about the disengage policy. Which is extremely funny and I will use as long as it exists.

        In this case I'm doing @ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net a favor, because we could argue about forum rules down to the fucking molecule, they seem willing to go indefinitely. 🥵🥵

      I don't have a problem with seeing you around, you don't bother me. The disengage is so you don't speak to me.

        No, that's what the block button is for. Disengage means "disengage from this subject", not "don't comment on my posts". My comment was on the post, not about or directed at you. I didn't check to see who posted it first, I only found out it was you when you came to make sure you got the last word in. If you don't want to see my comments on your posts, just block me, and you'll need never worry about me again.

        And can I remind you of our conversation about hypocrisy, and how you asked me to disengage but are re-engaging despite me replying to someone else.

            i am intelligent, hyperlexical

            I know you convinced yourself you're Sherlock Holmes working out my life story from an offhand comment, but in trying to prove you're just as loquacious as me you instead described yourself as a child under 5 years old that reads a lot. The entire comment stinks of self aggrandising and "I have a girlfriend she just lives in canada" (seriously, you spent an entire hour sending this line by line, along with weirdly vague threats beforehand, nothing about which suggests you have a social life, partner, or even job (also I totally fucking called it you are grandstanding again)), but here you actually managed to immediately prove both claims untrue.
            Anyway, your "deductions" led you down the wrong path - I'm not, and have never been, a special education teacher. I've TA'd in a primary school with additional SEN provisions (i.e I was not the provider of those provisions) and now run a social enterprise centre which houses, among its many charities and orgs, a daycare for adults with learning disabilities. There are a lot of different ways to work with neurodivergent people. I'm sorry you had a bad experience with special education, but I'm not part of it.

            It's great you gave Chunka Luta a heads up on twitter, but my literal job is providing workspaces and support for charities targetting poverty and vulnerable people in one of the poorest areas of europe. I spent today fixing donated appliances which will go to women who are fleeing domestic violence. Last week I was setting up workspaces for a charity that helps children in poor areas access higher education. We help refugees, support various people with physical and learning disabilities and help protect vulnerable children from exploitation. I got to personally inform a group of activists meeting there that the police had started keeping tabs on their movements. I just cannot emphasise enough how much I do not feel talked down to by someone whose claims literally posting on the internet as their credentials.
            Similarly, it's great you were in honours class, but I secured a scholarship (and hefty bursary that actually let me attend) to a private school where the equivalent of honours was the minimum expectation. Sure, that gave me years of terrible self image because I perceived my abilities as average but was comparing myself to the top 5%, but I feel secure enough in my intelligence now that I don't feel talked down to someone who has to describe themselves as "better functioning and [sic] everyone here".

            Like I said last time, do some self examination and get a grip.

              I should have preemptively expanded the bit about how social workers have the same disease as you. Again you prove I can 360° noscope post any day of the week even while doordashing.

              As if to add comedic timing to my posting someone started a thread asking "has anyone else noticed autistic people talk funny" just to drive home what I was talking about to Pluto the other day, you fuckers only understand "cluster B" personality disorders and discord furries larping as having DID

                  Don't worry it's mostly automatic writing, I don't proofread unless it's absolutely necessary, half of this shit was actually yelled over dictation today, but despite all of that, the books I've linked to are all very good

      Because I don't want you to leave replies on stuff that I'm saying, it's that simple. I have seen the way you insert yourself into a discussion about the burning of 🇮🇱 digitally, and I think you should stick to talking to special ed students at your job, not arguing online.

      Very funny if I managed to get the rule changed so that tedious bastards are allowed a last word, I welcome it.

      "If you reply to me again I will ask you to disengage." is fine with me. There is zero clarity about this shit.

      But that is to be expected on a website which has such a relatively high proportion of fandom wiki and ex magic the gathering players and ex nu atheists (no shade thrown).

      It does bother me seeing the way you are willing to reinterpret things off of a turn of phrase when you understand the underlying message, without putting much effort into conveying you understand. If I were a more sensitive type of autistic person, you all certainly would bother me. What bothers me is the increasing amount of energy you make required to be understood by me as soon as there is a disagreement. I've talked with Pluto before about how there used to be practically no awareness of autism in the neurodivergent space here.
