TrueDave explains his Mego Meet and Forum behavior.

[batmanmc]

dave yu are a cool guy. i enjoyed meeting you at the meet.

"If you felt that your autism was something you were comfortable sharing with us, I think that's pretty cool. "
No I dont feel comfortable sharing it. Not in the most remote stretch.
I hate this. A lot.

[Brue]

really? your behavior? you met me, right?
i don't remember anything wrong at the meet or on the forums.

probably best you apologies to me though -I can pretend you were that guy who sucker punched me in the eighth grade. thanks for the apology. now i can offer forgiveness and move on with life.

[Cmonster]

I wasn't at MM and haven't met you in person, but have enjoyed our PM's back and forth about all things customizing... If you felt that your autism was something you were comfortable sharing with us, I think that's pretty cool. So are you. Don't let the peanut gallery get to you. LOL

Never would have guessed it if you hadn't mentioned it, but I applaud you for being brave enough to do so. By no means should you feel like explaining it, but I hope it gives you some measure of comfort to know that your autism doesn't affect how we accept you, beyond the new found respect I and others have for sharing something so personal. Keep on posting, and looking forward to seeing you again next year.

Do not let people make you feel that you have to explain yourself. I have not seen anything from you that is in question. Keep your head up and move forward, don't let that pm bother you. Iwas at the meet and we were both in Austin's seminar. I did not notice anything out of the ordinary. We are all a bunch of people that share a common interest and sometimes we are not all going to get along.

[Mikey]

I missed the whole thing and have no idea what this is about.

Regardless, you're a cool guy Dave and keep on truck'in

[Godzilla]

My kids are still talkign about the magnet we bought. Great stuff!

[boss]

It's all good. This is a pretty cool group of toy collectors who stick together for the most part.

One other thing, nobody hear speaks FOR anyone else. Don't let someone make you believe otherwise.

[TrueDave]

The member was being thoughtful and helpful and spoke for several members. I respect the person and can guess who they were mentioning. I like them too.
I thank You and I thank them.
They were right. I get this a lot, for decades.

( but I am VERY sorry for the drama. )

[palitoy]

While we weren't introduced, more than one person made it a point to mention to me afterwards about meeting you and how much they enjoyed it. I don't know why you'd have to justify that to anyone.

[boston]

I have no idea what this guy said to you but for you to make this post it must of been something completely wrong. the only thing that comes to my mind is violence and being a all ages site I will restrain myself with what should be done to this guy who left you feeling the need to post this. one day this guy might say something to the wrong person and he'll be spending their next 365 days drinking food from a straw with a pencil taped to his head so he can make notes on how to treat a person while in recovery.

I'm Autistic. I'm trying my best , everyday.
This Public announcement is in response to a private message.


True Story,
True Dave.

Dave...I have always found your interaction on this forum to be perfectly fine.....don't let anyone bother you with comments.....and never feel like you have done anything wrong

[megocrazy]

I not sure of the details but I wouldn't let it bother you Dave. I deal with autism on a regular basis and I would never have known your situation. Not that it matters. My wife cares for a small child with autism. BTW, I also enjoyed meeting you both at the Meet.

[MLoudin]

Really enjoyed meeting you and your wife... The Star Trek Mego magnet you made is WAY cool!!
