I have been blocked Anythingspossibleforapossible (http://arthur.wikia.com/wiki/User:Anythingspossibleforapossible) and I would like to correct them, with regards to the discussion regarding the offensiveness of various terms used to refer to Asperger's Syndrome, that the term "aspie" is not offensive - no matter how much they think that "it sounds like a ridicule" - and that the evidence which I have for this is the many Asperger's forums where the users quite openly use the term "aspie" to refer to themselves. It is used as a term of acceptance and self-recognition, not offense or ridicule. But in any case this discussion is stupid because the discussion was actually about the term "Asperger's" versus "Asperger" and I had actually let up about that and had merely asked for a correction to a grammar issue regarding capitalisation seeing as I did not have the edit rights to correct the issue myself. (I would like to add that I did subsequently change the term back to "Asperger's" by reversing the edit and I don't understand why it has been so persistently changed back to "Asperger" - why is there so much opposition to a simple change of terms???)

With regards to the ban I would like to say that I do not think that it is fair to ban someone from editing the wiki when the offense was to do with communication with other users. It is difficult to remain calm when the admins repeatedly reject your requests to fix offensive terms just because they don't understand that it is offensive - and I acknowledge that that is no reason to type in capital letters - but I would like to request that I regain editing permissions on this wiki and I promise that if those permissions are given back then I will not remove Mrs MacGrady from that list page either.
