Sharp: Closing a door

jubal: Thanks for your comment and thanks for summoning me. ;)

toyotabedzrock: A few years ago I met Sarah at LCA and had lunch with her and a group of other delegates. I didn't get the impression then that she would discriminate against people like me and I didn't get that impression when reading her blog post about leaving the Linux kernel community. I have had private conversations with a number of women who have similar opinions to Sarah.

The people who are against Aspies are people like YOU. This was a long discussion about behaviour on mailing lists (most of which I didn't read because I've read enough that I just see familiar patterns) and you were the one to bring up Autism. Your implication that people like me cause the problems is what could theoretically lead to exclusion. I say theoretically because white men almost never get excluded regardless of what they do.

neilbrown: I don't think it's pride, I think it's privilege. People tend to do things that they can get away with.
