    My first email to Scope went unanswered so I posted my first question which asked how to change my username.  

    "The question is why?" was the reply I got. Not helpful or welcoming.

    Hey hi,

    I made a (harmless) new member mistake and got an email which turned out to be a first warning though it didn't say so.

    I reacted badly to another post got a warning and was told my account would be reviewed a month later. It wasn't so I emailed told another month to review but I've been left hanging. Fully explained how all this made me feel at the time (as an autistic person). 

    I can't edit or control when it's posted plus I read last night that 3 strikes and you're out, finito! 
    Doesn't feel very nice. Thanks for reply

    I think I agree strongly with chiarieds comment about "balanced energy". Me and my partner are both introverts, so if my statement about introverts needing to use up energy being around others was true we'd both get tired of each other. But we rarely ever do, so I guess that's "balanced energy" in a way? You're comfortable enough that you aren't expending any extra energy dealing with the worry and anxieties that can come with socialising.
    I totally agree with this. But my wife and I are different, I am an introvert and she is an extrovert. Still, I feel at ease with her by my side.  :)
