I have set up a new support forum for survivors of trauma and abuse and people with borderline personality disorder, dissociative identity disorder, PTSD and related conditions. In order to join, you don’t need to be both a trauma survivor and have BPD or something similar – it’s okay if you fall into just one of these categories. For now, members need to activated by me before being able to participate. This is to prevent trolls and spammers from using the forum, so don’t worry about not being allowed on the boards. Go to the forums and enjoy.

Why does everyone want to prevent trolls? Why do trolls get such a raw deal? We contribute too, in our own way. And it’s my neurological variation (Autism/Asperger’s) that makes me a good troll. Yet everyone has something to say about trolls, just like they always cut down sociopaths (Who are also Neurologically divergent). Well, as a non-empath, trolling is a perfect exercise for me and it provokes a reaction in people in terms that I can understand (Whereas otherwise I wouldn’t be able to.) Also, Internet trolls offer a challenge, just as the literal fairytale trolls found under bridges who would pop up with a riddle to be solved before others could cross the bridge.
It’s ABSURD to discriminate against “trolls” and ban us or not even give us a chance, just because we have a different way of going about things socially, or because we challenge in some way (Which is a HUGE no-no these days) or express ourselves freely. And there are others who aren’t even trolling at all, and are just “weird” due to our neurological wiring or just because, and yet these Neurodiverse or other supposedly “accepting” groups REJECT us for the same behavior they purport to advocate for. It’s goddamn ironic. Just like another collective, another “society” which seems to uphold the same values as the dominant society. It’s a joke, a fucking riot. People who are truly different ALWAYS end up being excluded ANYWHERE they go, and by ANY group. And believe me, that’s a GOOD thing. Screw groups, labels, what-have-you.
