I know that this is the "FILM GENERAL" Board and not really the place to post something like this (I also haven't spoken to The Admin about doing this here on this Board, with respect to him I feel that this should be all on me by myself) but since this is the Board that I visit and post on the most and more importantly, because I know that I have annoyed, angered, ticked off, and made angry a lot of people on the "FILM GENERAL" Board with my constant bumping, repeated threads, and hogging Page 1 of the Board with all of My Posts (which The Admin has indeed warned me about, he gave me the warning almost 2 months ago and I have cut back on it but I do admit that I still have done it several times since then and I do apologize to The Admin and everybody else here for it), I even have had to put 2 people (I won't say their names) on IGNORE because 1 was attacking me with insults, mocking me with sentences that I would use to bump my posts, and accusing me of cursing at them about something which wasn't true and the other was also mocking me with sentences that I would use to bump my posts.
I was actually also on YOUTUBE last night watching a WWE Fan's Live-Stream and at 1 point during it, I was so Angry, Annoyed, and Frustrated by what I was seeing on "MONDAY NIGHT RAW" week after week, month after month, and year after year and so I said something really stupid (I would rather not say what, I feel horrible about it) and The Streamer and a heck of a lot of his Fans all attacked me for it. I did apologize to him, explained myself, and everyone else in the Stream and he replied back to me and said that it is all good and that he hope I enjoy his streams.
The Main Reason why I am making this Post here on the "FILM GENERAL" Board to all of you and here on this Board and more importantly, the Main Reason why I have been doing what I have been doing (and I know I have talked about this before) is because My Name is Anthony and I actually have a Disability.
My Official Diagnosis is "Asperger's with Acute Anxiety" which basically means that I know a heck of a lot (even things that I didn't even want to know in the first place, I just either heard, watched, read, and saw either by accident or just because I was bored) and also that I get anxious, nervous, scared, annoyed, or angry over little things very easily.
I do really want to say though that even though I have this Disability, I myself have actually never really looked at it as a Disability or an Illness but just simply apart of who I am. I have never been ashamed to admit that I have it or even have a conversation with people about it. In my life, I have actually tried my best to use My Diagnosis in ways that can help me grow as a person and become smarter and more intelligent. I am 35 years old now and even though it still affects me (and I know that it will continue to do so for a very long time, IT IS NOTHING FATAL, DANGEROUS, OR BAD THOUGH, DON'T WORRY!  ), I have still never let it once stop me and I have no intentions of ever letting it do so and in a strange way, I am actually proud that I have it mainly because it has indeed helped me to grow as a person.
To The Admin and to all of the People here on the "FILM GENERAL" Board that I have made Unhappy, I owe you this Explanation and I am truly sorry for Any Negativity that I have shown or made you feel. I am indeed doing my very best that I can and I am never going to stop that, I will keep doing my best for as long as I live (I want to make it to 100 ) and if there is anybody here who feels that that is simply still not good enough and that I should either leave IMDB2 or take a very long break from it then please let me know, I will understand completely and not hold any negativity against you at all. I absolutely mean that.
Thank You Everyone for reading this and hearing me out, I appreciate it.
Anthony

Well you can't spell "disability" without "ability".

You have more posts than anyone, so that's more ability than disability.
And you're fine AFAIC. Your posts are all topical. I'm amazed people felt compelled to report you to the admin for topical posts, even if they are excessive.

Anthony, I admire your bravery in posting this. Yeah, I'll admit I've sometimes busted your chops for bumping threads, but I'm never going to report you for that...you're the most enthusiastic member on these boards, and that's something sorely needed. We will have to get into a deep debate on the MCU vs. the Star Wars Universe one of these days though...

Aspergers just means you're beta, it's not a disease or a disability.

No disrespect intended, but I had already kinda figured out that you probably had some type of disability. Online forums in general tend to attract introverted people, and some of those people happen to be on the autistic spectrum.
I have a nephew who was diagnosed with Asperger's several years ago. I myself may be either an aspie also or I may have what's known as high-functioning autism. I've never been diagnosed but some of the signs are there.

WOW!
Thank You So Much Everyone for Your Comments!
They really mean a lot.
I have felt really bad for annoying a lot of people here and Heck, I even still feel Absolutely Horrible both in my head and my heart for the Stupid & Terrible Thing that I said last night in that WWE Fan's Live-Stream (I was annoyed and angry about how things in the WWE have been for years now and also how WWE Fans have been handling it and so I basically commented in his stream and said 1 of the Most Idiotic and Foolish Things I may have ever said which was pretty much "Words are not going to change things in the WWE, Only Action will. WWE Fans need to take Action, They need Throw Objects into the Ring, Rush The Ring, Just Take Action"). As I said before, The WWE Fan/Streamer then saw it, read it all out loud, and then screamed at me on His Stream which was LIVE and then about 50 of His Fans commenting in the Stream all jumped on me for saying it (and I 100 Percent DESERVED it all. It was an Absolutely Stupid, Idiotic, Foolish, and Terrible thing to say).
Since last night though, I Posted a Comment in 1 of the WWE Fan/Live Streamer's Videos and I apologized to him and explained myself and my disability and he replied back to me with a comment saying "all good man, enjoy the streams". Even though I still feel Absolutely Horrible about it (and I should), I am a little relieved though that he has forgiven me (His 50 Fans who jumped on me will probably be ignoring me from now on in the streams though).
1 Thing that is hard when it comes to My Diagnosis is how I always say Really Stupid Things (on YOUTUBE, here on IMDB2, or Just In-Person) whenever I get emotional, upset, annoyed, frustrated, or angry about something but as I said in My OP. I am handling it as best as I can and I won't stop trying to do my best.
I can only hope that as time goes on, I will eventually have used my diagnosis in a way for me to grow to the point where I know what the best way for me to handle it would be (I do take Medications and attend Group Therapy which has helped me a lot!).
Still though, I again just want everyone here to know I am sorry for annoying you with anything that I have said or posted or both here on IMDB2.
I will also be honest and say that I cannot promise that I will stop immediately JUST LIKE THAT!
I honestly can't promise that because I really don't know. I can however most definitely promise that I will do absolutely positively my very best to use some common sense and not say anything stupid again or do anything else stupid that I have done before both on YOUTUBE and here on IMDB2.
Thank You Again to All of You for Your Comments, I really Appreciate Them Very Very Much. Thank You!
Anthony

Anthony...rocks.
Some think Aspergers makes you better, that it could be the next stage of human evolution.
Basically, dude, you're Wolverine.
Worst case scenario, you're Beast. I mean blue fur? Hard pass.

Why are you using your "disease" as an excuse? You admit that you know what you are doing, and it has gotten you multiple warnings from Admin, and yet you keep doing it anyway. Sounds like you are doing it intentionally to me. And you insult Trump voters constantly with vulgar names ("Human Trash") so no we don't forgive you, and yes we think you should leave. I don't know how much experience you have with the politics board, but it isn't exactly a polite place, and neither side of the aisle is guiltless when it comes to hyperbolic generalization and insults. In fact, I'd say politics is the asshole of the site TBH. |

I was always one of your biggest supporters anthony, but I really wish you would stop calling STAR WARS fans "dog shit dumb"
It is mean and impolite.

I actually didn't even know he posted anything until you quoted him. It's alright!

I'm sure many of us have character traits / posting habits that others find annoying / upsetting. I hope everybody here can stick together and continue to make this a friendly, welcoming place for others to come and discuss movies (and a whole range of other topics).
Well, take it easy man.

He called STAR WARS fans "dog shit dumb" I haven't been following the Star Wars threads as closely as I once did, so missed that post. Still, he did write this: To The Admin and to all of the People here on the "FILM GENERAL" Board that I have made Unhappy, I owe you this Explanation and I am truly sorry for Any Negativity that I have shown or made you feel.
