BTW, I DO HAVE ASPERGER's (mild case) and that is why I used it as an example. NOTHING in my post even came close to suggesting anything negative about those of US that suffer from it. The point being two things, 1) It is improper to ask questions like that (throwing one at him so that he would see how it would be taken) and 2) that at time those with Asperger sometimes lack the ability to understand how their words can be taken.
Calling me vicious was way overboard. I understand your knee-jerk reaction having a child with it, but you really should have spent more time reading my other posts to "get" the point I was making before responding in such a horrible and nasty way.

I apologize. Not only that, I am really sorry. I misunderstood. I thought you were putting down the other poster and putting down Aspies at the same time.
I am very protective of "my people." My son has AS and I am disabled.
Mea culpa maxima. I am sorry.

I think there is a kind of question with an implication of something overly personal that is deeply offensive. To imply, as the poster did, that someone holds an opinion because of a past trauma of a sexual nature is indecent in a sense. It is a crass attempt to expose someone, or someone's secrets that the person may not be in agreement with. To me that was what this poster was doing. If his immplication were true, it would have been an assault on me. And none of his business. And rude beyond what any civil person would tolerate. Now why that isn't clear to him by now, or to others, is beyond me. But I think he will not get it, now or ever. We tried but he is just beyond understanding.
