I have Cognitive Dissonance over two dots that don't connect.

On the one hand, Stephanie Wellen Levine tells me she is so allergic to the notion of systems thinking that it makes her violently ill in the pit of her stomach.

And yet Stephanie is a member of Conversation, which is FB's largest collection of systems thinkers.

How can that be?

Barry, I've temporarily removed you from the CCFB. There has been more than three instances where you shared not considered, inconsiderate comments, continuing where it was very clear others were feeling intimidated and harassed. You are welcome back at some time in the future, should you so wish.

How long does my hiatus last? And will I be afforded the unalienable right to respond to those there who wish to address me?

John Kellden

Unalienable right? There is one and only one rule in the CCFB.

Your hiatus is entirely up to you.

I would like to return now, then if it pleases you.

I do not wish to be alienated from other members of my own NeuroTribe.

John, do you know who, just now, caused my TimeLine post to suddenly become erased?

It just this minute disappeared.

Yutiel Yoshi was in the middle of posting a comment when it disappeared.

When I said up to you, I was referring to you resolving the recent kerfuffles with Stephanie and Jennifer, and then all of you can separately share your resolve with me, after which you are welcome to rejoin.

There's no rush, take your time to become friends again.

Jennifer has me blocked. Jesse has Stephanie blocked. What is your mechanism in CCFB for Civil Conflict Resolution?

John Kellden

No. Not my mechanism. Your willingness to resolve with the others.

Here is the issue as I see it, John.

Jesse is an Aspie. So is Christopher Tremblay. I am on the borderline between Aspergers Syndrome and NeuroTypical.

As near as I can make out, Stephanie (and probably Jennifer, too), cannot abide our NeuroTribe. Our NeuroTribe literally make them sick to their stomach.

Barry, there's three thousand members in the CCFB. There is one, and only one rule. Every single one of the members, would love to have unique allowances made, just for them. That is not so.

There is no such thing as a unique, individual framing of any which issue. That is for you to resolve, with the others.

The path "back" to rejoin: You resolving the recent kerfuffles with Stephanie and Jennifer, and then all of you can separately share your resolve with me, after which you are welcome to rejoin.

There's no rush, take your time to become friends again.

In short, share your resolve, and be welcomed back.

How is it, John, that Jennifer Grove has the unique power to unilaterally police the existence of contributions from the Aspie NeuroTribe?

Do you see the Modus Operandi?

My plan, John, is to expose the unbecoming practice of marginalizing, alienating, and censoring the members of the Aspie NeuroTribe.

Where is the Due Process, John?

Barry Kort

By the way, Jennifer, Stephanie, and I are not enemies. None of us have anything against the other. The evidence for that is in the post on my TimeLine that suddenly vanished a little while ago.

So we cannot logically becomes Friends again, since we were never more than correspondents who had never bothered to become FB Friends. Our status is the same as it has always been since any of us have been members of any common FB Discussion Group.

Did you also remove both Stephanie and Jennifer from CCFB? Or only me?

John, have you sequestered from me the corpus of contributions to CCFB? If so, why have you sequestered my contributions?

John, Stephanie and I have never been anything more than casual acquaintances. We are neither friends nor enemies. We are just two people who have different interests in life.

As far as I know, I never met Jennifer anywhere on FB. I didn't even know there was such a person until Anne-Marie tried to cc me on one of Jennifer's disclosures. Did you happen to see that?

OK. I worked out a tacit agreement.

Jesse has tacitly agreed not to recognize the existence of Stephanie, nor to ever attend to anything she says or writes, but to simply adopt the convenient fiction that she does not exist.

Jennifer and Stephanie have both tacitly agreed to pretend I do not exist and to never attend to or respond to anything I say or write.

I have agreed to reciprocate in kind by ignoring the existence of either Jennifer or Stephanie and to refrain from attending to or responding to anything she says or writes in CCFB.

Thus we have tacitly arrived at a mutually agreeable resolution. You can independently poll them to confirm that this is their policy, as well.

For all practical purposes, I don't exist for them and, going forward, they don't exist for me.

Does that work for you?

Since it's a tacit agreement, we are logically obliged to simply wordlessly agree to it, as a tacit non-verbal agreement.

Yutiel Yoshi has approved it.

The way to be sure, John, is to have an express social contract, rather than an unwritten one where undisclosed expectations are laid on others without their knowledge or consent.

23 minutes ago

John Kellden

It's not unwritten. The one and only rule is there, since Nov 2012 in the CCG+ and since Feb 2015 in the CCFB. You are evading your own responsibility for your own actions.

Please recite the text of the rule to me, John.

Where, in the Public Group is there a rule that applies to conversations not taking place in the group?
