Softly needling him, especially when he has never given an indication of caring, does not do him harm.

This is the internet, anyone participating, even those with a disability, should expect some degree of needling. Teasing him about his TMZ obsession is nothing.

A good sense of humor can go a long way.
It *IS* shocking the amount of thin-skinned forum members on here that can't handle the internet life... Some on here can't even handle capital letters in the middle of words and emojis... I can hardly imagine the chaos in their minds if I started using 1337speak!! :rollin

I agree to a point; I just finally commented after seeing the same pattern of responses a number of times to literally every single one of his posts. There's a fine line between "soft needling" and "mocking." After a while it crosses from one to the other.

You should run for the Democrat party nomination. You might be the one person who has an ego big enough to compete with Trump's.

I tease BMW constantly and he's never accused me of doing so because of his spectrum issues...

Are you suggesting that a headline/Wikipedia link/tmz link combo is NOT fascinating?

matt1 has stated several times in these forums that he has autism.
Wow, that is crazy. I never would have guessed that. Good to know.

I used to watch Pee Wee's Playhouse religiously as a young kid. The opening theme drove my mom up the wall. Every time I would mention the stupid shit kids watch on their phones, she would throw that back in my face.

At least it was catchy 😆

Paul/Pee-Wee was a legend. Very shocked he's no longer with us. I saw Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and laughed at a lot of parts. He had two Pee-Wee projects at the time of his death. May he R.I.P.

Let me delve into this -

He may have Autism but he’s high functioning autism. I happen to work for someone that a couple of co workers who had the credentials to diagnose her as high functioning autism proceeded to do so. Nice person but report standards drive you crazy and have driven people to quit.

Anyway, he also stated that he was a loss prevention manager at the Midland Younkers. Obviously he’s competent enough to hold a position like that - but stating things that are so incredibly obvious is maddening. Additionally, I’ve seen him post on TV stations FB pages with the same type of post under his full name. Lots of times it’s like Hello Cpt. Obvious. It just gets annoying to read.

Usually those kinds of folks have a wire or two that somebody plugged into the wrong slot during assembly.
