While some people with Asperger's experience problems with face to face communications and have an easier time dealing with people online, that's a sweeping statement.<p>I know Bram and I don't think he would care if I said that face to face communication is not a problem for him.  In my time speaking with Bram both face to face and online, his primary characteristic per Asperger's has been a near complete lack of social fear.<p>Most humans get nervous in certain social situations.  Bram does not.  This will certainly cause problems when faced with someone that social might wield power, as an administrator, and Bram my have to pay for his lack of decorum in these situations.<p>I'm not excusing Bram's behavior.  There is no need to excuse it.  It has happened and he will pay whatever price is exacted. I'm simply explaining it.
