    You know what is going to happen now: a bunch of us
    will be faking Aspergers in order to make people think
    we are geniuses. Whenever someone at an extroschmooze
    starts acting like a turd, we will conclude that it is
    all an act. We will end up defending our actions:
    "Honest, you guys, Im a REAL asshole!"
