Hey there TJ.

Thanks for sharing about the RL issues.

I have Aspergers Syndrome, which some sya is on the spectrum range of Autism. What i means fo rme is that there is only so mucvh RL stimualtion I can take before my brain blows a fuse and I need to hide in a room with no noise and no people. If its real bad the room needs to be dark. So I can really identify with your commetns. Guild work in the pre-TBC dungeons seems fine, as not a lot of talking needs to happen, so I can focus reasonably well. But I know that there are days I mess even these up because I can’t grab what people are saying and doing, and it all gets so noisy and full of lights and colours, etc.

Now that’s me, not you, but I have to say I recognised some of the same sorts of issues. Quite rightly you need to sort out what works for you.So all the best as you try to work out what your best approach to Raiding will be.

I’ve responded to Lyyra off the blog, but anyone else who is having a feed problem – the partial posts were for these two entries only.

I’ve been reading you ever since BRK first mentioned you, and I’m very sorry that I break out of my lurking pattern only to complain. But needs must, and I hope you understand :)

I didn’t mind the new RSS feed but now only the first part of your entries show up on my reader and I have to click the ‘read more’ to access the entire entry. This goes against the whole purpose of using an RSS reader in the first place, which for me is to avoid clicking through webpages and waiting for them to load.

Is there a particular reason you’re cutting your entries, or could you perhaps consider going back to the previous formatting? :)

I echo BBB. I’ve read Cay’s blog, BRK’s blog, Doom’s blog, and probably most of the other blogs from your guild, and Pie’s & Fio’s comments several places. Sounds to me like you have an outstanding group of real friends who truly care about doing what friends and good guildmates do: Help each other as much as possible.

Good luck raiding!

TJ, I appreciate your distress.

But I think I can anticipate yuor friends’ reaction.. because I know how I would feel if it were one of my friends that wanted to raid.

I, and I’m sure your friends as well, would be delighted to ahve you come and raid.

Don’t think of the extra effort as a burden to your friends. Because it’s not. It’s simply one of the conditions that have to be fulfilled so that your friends get the joy of playing with you, and the added fun of sharing even more experiences with you.

A burden is something you resent having to do. And I seriously doubt any of your friends would resent anything that would help get you ready and comfortable to play with them.

I understand that you would naturally worry that you are causing them annoyance or stress. You wouldn’t be a good friend if you didn’t care about your FRIENDS’ feelings.

Just try and remember… they want you to be happy also, and they wouldn’t be your friends if they didn’t care about YOUR feelings too.
