It gets better!
So, yesterday I wrote about how I got kicked off an autism discussion list that I've belonged to since 1999.
When it happened, I responded with two e-mails. The first pointed out that I'd had no warnings prior to the kick. The second pointed out that he's kicked me off the list for something I said ON A DIFFERENT LIST.
Today, I got an e-mail back that said that he might reinstate me if I apologize for all the times I snipped at him, since he was so gracious as to give me a platform to promote myself.
That caused me to do a double-take, as I have never, to my recollection, "promoted myself" on the autismlist, nor any other list I belong to, except as a possible informational resource. I might offer links to my web site or blog from time to time, but I never promote my services anywhere, and I certainly have never asked people for money in return for my thoughts and input into situations they are dealing with! (And aside from that, I only snipped in response to his under-handed pot-shots, so I don't know what he's talking about.)
Needless to say, I've told him I'm not coming back, and I told him he's not a nice person and that he is unreasonable. (To which he merely responded, "Good")

A clever advocate once told me that, if want a person to act differently, I should not tell them that they are not a nice person, but rather that they are not acting nicely. The reason being that there is no remedy for the former complaint.
Sound like a shite list anyways, Janna... better off not being on it.
Sounds like a total tosser running it.
Remind you of anyone else we knew? :P
