>*Your* personal assessment of someone else's character is important, I'm sure, in some contexts, but I see no *relevance* to this context, that is this comment board.

*Actually, if I am to feel anything like comfortable reading and posting here, it may well have a lot of relevance in this context.

I'm not trying to assassinate someone's character. I made a point that someone I do not (for me, for good reason) trust had made a post here, and I know that in other situations this person has behaved in horrible ways towards many people. What people here do in regard to that person is up to them. I don't give a shit. If it were my board, I'd be in a position to ban him, as happened to him on another forum. It's not, and to be honest I don't advocate banning him.

But I don't have to like him, or trust him, based entirely onhis behaviour towards me and many others who encountered him elsewhere.

I have good reasons for how I react to him, and I'd like those respected. Just as I would be requested to respect other people's reasons for any interaction they wished to have with him. I'm not tearing his character down. I'm stating why I don't trust him.

Can we end this here, please, and get on with the autism stuff?
