    I believe it’s not necessarily unreasonable to expect you to just take notes of the points as they come up, and expand on them if requested by the client.

    It also doesn’t make sense that mentioning your name should prompt you to immediately start explaining shit. People can mention you or something about you and move on. Maybe just acknowledge it briefly.

      That’s not the way it works though.

      I need to keep in mind what I am actually supposed to say, and what salesweasel got wrong. Then try to reconcile the two without making das weasel look bad.

      If you mention me by name, as opposed to ‘we’, ‘the team’, etc. I will believe my input is required, then I will want to clarify things and put them in the most unambiguous terms.

      Really though, I don’t want to be here, if you don’t need me (you talk over me, or diminish what I say) let me get on with things.

        You should be aware that that’s an extremely autistic way to view this.

          Maybe people should just understand that you don’t @ me if you don’t want me to chime in. It’s actually pretty fucking rude.

            It’s rude to mention your name in passing as someone who could help understand a part of a larger topic if necessary, while staying on the larger topic, instead of immediately diverting?

            Yeah, I’m arguing you should reconsider your stance.

              Interesting, I had never considered ‘stop being autistic’ as a choice. Thanks for that.

              Unrelated, my girlfriend just got a dog, I like them, but I prefer cats. Should I tell the dog to reconsider its stance?

                You’d still be autistic, just as I am.

                But you can change your response to hearing your name. Don’t stubbornly hold on to awkward behavior after you’ve identified it, you are perfectly capable of excising undesirable traits from your personality. You’re autistic, not retarded.
