Well done.  Either you have personal knowledge of darth_ender (or kenkraly?), or you just lobbed a personal insult.  In which case you should be banned.  Again.

And since I have a few different connections to disorders of a mental and/or physical nature, I am also personally offended by this.  So, this is in no way a personal insult, but rather simple an expression of my gut reaction when I read this, when I say, good sir, that you should kindly fuck off.

Asperger's is a syndrome, not an insult. Congratulations, you've just insulted every single person with Asperger's on the planet. ;)

On the internets, though, it's often used as a way to point out someone's unacceptable inability to understand irony, hyperbole, or priorities and degrees.
People who nitpick a movie too much and can't understand how plot holes can be justified by a desired cinematic effect, or character development / audience identification, and are generally less important than those aspects - everything has, has to fit in, personality and character are aliens.

Both Squirrelken and I used the English language in a way that wasn't 100% correct. Both were mistakes. That ain't how the grammer book says it should be done. It's wrong. I shouldn't be picking on his language if I add or omit a comma for the sake of expression (expression, what is that? i don't understand these things, he used a comma wrong, that's not how the Oxford dictionary says it should be used). I'm as guilty as he is.


Ludicrous behavior like that is what is meant by Asperger's (when used on the internet), not so much an actual claim about a disorder only a psychologist can diagnose.
I've been called an Aspie for nitpicking, as well (although they mistook it for actual criticism, while I was just pointing out things), I have a light form of ADHS myself, and I wasn't "offended" in the slightest.

You should really grow a thicker skin and quit being "offended" by everything.
