Please understand that cancer is a deadly disease. The term "cancer" has lost all meaning, y'know. Same with AIDS thing. Don't try to ignore this. It's. Not. Something. To. Disgust. Something.! Too bad the term "cancer" is now becoming a meme...And I wonder why they use the word "cancer" unironically.

So back to the topic. That re-color gave me Autism? Autism is something you're born with. Exactly. And like the others said, it's nothing to joke about. There are just some things that are meant to be kept serious since it's not a joking matter. Well yeah. There are a number of users on SNN that are Autistic. So it's clearly an insult towards them. Are you claiming to speak and be insulted on behalf of these Administrators? No. I was simply pointing towards anyone with Autism who may feel offended by what Notless had said. Nothing to with any Administrators whatsoever. Ignore my mentioning of Administrators. I thought I saw you referring to Administrators who have Autism rather than just any Users here in general. I apologize for misreading what you actually said. That being said, I'd like to rephrase my initial question. Are you claiming to speak and be offended on behalf of any Users here who have Autism? Because I think that if anyone here is offended over someone making jokes about Autism, they are more than capable of expressing their dissatisfaction with them on their own, and by extension, regardless over how you or anyone else here may personally feel about these jokes, it isn't against site policy to make specific kinds of jokes over any group or demographic, so even if anyone finds them distasteful there's no need to try and go out of your way to shame anyone from making those kinds of jokes. I can make the argument that we should never shame or otherwise try to stop anyone from making any kinds of jokes regardless over what they're about, but that's an argument for another day. Bottom line, NotLessOrEqual was just trying to be funny. There's no need to take him so seriously. I could see he was trying to make a joke but it just sort of went a bit peer-shaped. That's why I didn't take any further grudges against him afterwards. As I've mentioned on my profile, I am one of those people diagnosed with the condition and I wanted to point out to NL that it isn't a disease you can catch like malaria. Well, no one knows where Autism comes from but still, I was speaking on behalf of my own kind here that might get offended by it. Pointing out that Autism is not to be made into a joking matter. As some of us have great problems trying to deal with it everyday beyond the Web. And some of us (including me) don't take kindly to some of these "Jokes".

As far as administrators go, I only know Mystic Monkey is autistic, but that's all and like me I don't think he would've made too much of a fuss about it. Anyway, I said what I needed said. Sorry for getting us off the topic.
