I posted an affiliate linked event.

I apologize. Didn’t RTFD. Which I should have. But not surprised since I do in fact have ADHD and am impulsive.

I agree this was a bad call, I should not have posted this on my admin account. I didn’t know I had GOD powers. Eeek.

I thought it was more informative than spam.

Again, I am really sorry.

I will get better at RTFD’ing.

    Affiliate link mistake or not I am glad you posted that link and I want you to know that I found it valuable and at least two of my ND friends did as well (including one that just recently started a business) and are now going to attend.

    I know it was against the rules but I just wanted you to know that at least someone was glad you posted it and you made a positive impact in at least one person’s life.

    Don’t get me wrong, I understand why the rule exists but I think I commented on the original post too and I didn’t even take it as you trying to advertise, you even said it was an affiliate link. I thought it seemed like you were just excited, and the event is free after all (cost isn’t the point I know, I think that’s why I didn’t think it was advertising).

    I got the apology bit, just not the RTFD. We all make mistakes, the most important thing is to recognise and apologise for them, so good for you.

    “I have ADHD”, is a reasonable explanation, if you have ADHD and are talking to a fellow ADHD, or a parent of said ADHD. But the NT’s don’t see it that way. In the NT world, there is an expectation of consideration.

    I know this in theory. But I’m impulsive. So guess what I have a trail of NT’s that I have to start apologizing to from the moment I see them.

    This is sarcasm. Or is it. Being able to handle opposing truths about ideas comes easy as I have ADHD.
