What about the converse?
Someone hurts themself while following your advice though clearly incompetent.

That was essentially his argument. As I (and others) have always said, it's a difficult situation with no ideal solution - essentially a "can't win" scenario. However, if, despite attempts to dissuade them, it is apparent that someone is hell-bent on carrying on, with or without advice, I personally think that (extreme scenarios aside) trying to offer advice is the lesser of the evils (even if the OP still manages to harm him/herself, or others). However, I've had this discussion countless times with BAS, so there's really no point in going over all that ground again.
Kind Regards, John
So do I, further from my prospective, Aspergers is a form Autistic Spectrum Disorder what is what I am officially diagnosed with and have been since the age of 3.
Quite so.
A bit of a blast from the past, most of those members are no longer active on the forum and some are no longer with us, RIP Alastair

Well, you know what you have to do.
You got your posting rights back?
He never lost them - he withdrew from posting himself, because the mods would not allow him to pursue his request/demand for the apology which he believed he deserved. I believe that his posts are now 'moderated', but not 'banned'.
Kind Regards, John
And it was a pursuit which I discontinued - the only reason I have posted again is because Winston indicated a desire to resolve the issue.
Or so it seems to me, but even if not, a Merry Christmas and a HNY to you all.

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water noooooooooooooooooooooooo
I just trawled the entire friggin thread, and now he's back! I'm very interested in the ASD discussion. I am not a shrink, but was, for 20 years a head of various primary schools. In my 'main' one, I spent 17 years working with a lot of ASD pupils, mainly boys. The school developed a reputation for excellent results with ASD pupils; and where the success was greatest, it was when we successfully got them to recognise the non-literal laguage used by others, and to employ a kind of empathy. Semantics were hard for ASD pupils. "Morning John, it's freezing today isn't it?" If it wasn't below 0 degrees, that was a problem- we worked hard on those aspects, and we got results.
BAS is back and if he wants, he can confirm what I reckon I know, that he does not struggle with ASD.* Then again, why would he?

Usually his shadow if no one was available.
I seen his posts on screwfix mebbe 10 years ago. He posted up an example of his work which was some wiring he had done in a loft.
Wires flailing all over the place. Don't think he ever lived the aftermath down.
Think he left shortly after that.
He could talk the talk but couldn't walk the walk.
Mind you, I posted up an image of my handiwork once also and got similar treatment.
