Keep trying, champ. One day, you might actually have a witty comeback.

Because despite having no credentials or even knowing the person in question e-psychiatrists aren't hesitant to diagnose people they don't like with all kinds of crazies.
Get off that cross already, I don't dislike you.
Also, how do you know what my credentials are, or is this you once again playing know-it-all again?

Well, unless, of course, the person is incapable of higher social functions. The "spectrum" can get quite severe.
Yeah, of course, but someone with Astner's ability to communicate would be able to learn not to be hurtful to other people if he chose to do so (even if he was not able to understand why he should do so from an empathic argument).

I have in particular specified that my reply to Rob is written under assumption that he has it, because Rob brought it up. I don't know whether he does or not, and while I feel like he portrays some of the behaviour associated with it, he rightly points out that I have neither the credentials, nor the knowledge, to diagnose him. Hence my reply was hypothetical, and not even particularly related to Astner at all.

Well if you were educated you'd be far more hesitant to make a fool of yourself by throwing around transparent diagnoses with the rigor expected of a teenybopper.And that's not accounting for all the stupid shit you've posted over the years on such a frequent basis as to have me wonder whether you're even employed.
A blanket statement. "Educated" people make idiots of themselves all the time. eg Don't you have a few degrees under your belt supposedly?
Now you're coming off as angry and bitter; seems I hit a nerve with the "Asperger’s" comment. I can apologize, if you need, lmk.

I don't think that is necessarily accurate.
Empathy by definition is the ability to relate to the feelings of others under various conditions and circumstances. This makes it easier to comfort said people, but it also makes it easier to devastate them.
Don't make me laugh 😄 Being employed and being an idiot are two totally different things..
(maybe its otherwise in scandinavia, but here.. and I guess in states too... being smart doesn't give you a job, and being an idiot can't stop some friends/family from getting you one - that's usually something VERY good paid)
I wish I were an idiot 🙁

I understand that it can potentially make someone better at hurting other people's feelings, I just don't think it matters in your case. Your attacks on other people are marked by crassness and inappropriateness, there's no subtlety or art to them.
You can upset people because you say horrible things about them and sometimes they hurt, an excessively dumb script could do the "trolling" job you do.

Go easy on him, he just saw the error of his ways and backed down.
