You tend to be perceived that way because you act that way.
Yes. I made the choice to be like that rather be perceived as polite. Apologies that that wasn't clear. I'd rather spend my time thinking through things rather than making my words nice for others. I'm neurodivergent, I've spent a lifetime trying to mold myself into the box of etiquette and it drove me mad and made me quiet. I'm choosing now to say what needs to be said in how I need to say it.
Like saying that something would be used to further racism and ableism and then checking the people who don't like to be confronted with that idea.
Buddy, neurodivergence isn't an excuse for aggressive behavior when you acknowledge that you're knowingly and willingly acting aggressively.
That's like saying it's fine for someone with anger management issues to be aggressive instead of expecting them to moderate their behavior.
All of us, neurodivergent or not, have to take how we act towards others into account and tailor our behaviors accordingly.
Accidentally behaving aggressively because you didn't realize it would come across as aggressive is a different story.
Yes, that's what I mean. I'm unintentionally aggressive, but attempting to moderate that causes me to shutdown and not say anything instead. I'm making the conscious effort to speak instead of give into the obsession of over-moderating what I say to the point where I stop talking. So by making the choice to talk regardless, I'm intentionally being aggressive rather than quiet.
Dude was twisting my words and using fallacies to protect his paper thin "argument". I did my best without directly insulting him. Well, until that last comment. Shouldn't have done that.
