I quote from the rules page:
[COLOR= rgb(191, 191, 191)]We expect people to show respect, act like an adult, and treat people how you would expect to be treated to keep this a place where people enjoy.[/COLOR]
How do you interpret your own usage of the word Autism? Is it an insult? Is it light hearted internet speak? Or is it a sign of ignorance among people who use it against others.
People suffer through Autism, we have people in this community with Autism. It makes life difficult for them, their families, and can be a detriment in achieving their goals in life.
Yes we ban for using Autism as an insult. People don't choose to live with it, it is unfair enough that people deal with it, they do not need to have to deal with it here.

Well thing is, my brother actually has Autsimk so it's never an insult for me. Even when he annoys me i dont call him autstic because it really is mean. I never meant it as an insult in my situation because i have to live with it.

Good. I see you were unbanned recently, in which you said you read the rules. RULE ONE IS NO BULLYING. Making fun of those who are different to ourselves, or making light of someones medical condition is Bullying. No warning needed, you already told the staff you read the rules. And that was only on friday.
How would you feel if you were belittled for being Black/White/Gay/Straight/Disabled etc.? Imagine for just one second you were austisic to any degree, and all you want to do is play a game, maybe escape some of that persecution, and all you get is dickheads who think they're big boys behind keyboards slating you?
No thank you.

I would NEVER insult an Autistic person as I LIVE WITH IT EVERY day. Please do not accusation me of such evil things with little part of the story.

So why do you use it in that manner on the internet?
It's very easy to forget that people on the other side of your screen are actually people. You won't call your brother Autistic but you will call somebody else Autistic because you can't see them?
There really is no excuse for toxicity. The people who come here every day come for their own enjoyment. Not to be attacked or ridiculed. It's our job as a community to make it a welcoming and rewarding experience and simply put, insensitive attacks are not tolerated.
If you are banned for this, I'd recommend thinking about what I've said, consider how you may be hurting people by your choice of words, your brother included. Then go read and understand our rules before making an unban appeal.
