No need for personal attacks.

I'd be interested in reading you explain what the attack you detected was.
Is it that interesting that I found the comment unnecessarily judgemental and makes a shallow unsubstantiated assumption about the author's demographic/personality?
Oh please - it’s an honest assessment not a personal attack and it’s likely accurate. That you think otherwise says more about you than it does about me.
I prefer honest truth to polite fiction.
It’s better to attempt to see the world as it is than delude yourself with bullshit.

Is this the same cope police use when they profile people? It's actually absurd. That's okay brother, you tell it like it is with your "honest truth"
Well if he'd make a deep assumption you'd be even more triggered.
The term "aspie" has some very obvious and common negative connotations, much like "retard"
If GP had said the author was probably retarded, would you be so confused then?

Generalizing. It's would be the same as me calling you out as being an 34 male Texas Neckbeard MAGA supporter for having the user name "pessimizer".
Is that derogatory?

As a figure of speech, which this was; not so. I was explaining the point of an personal attack.
As an actual insult, assuming and throwing it at someone is an attack. It could be derogatory if what said harshly generalizes a majority or group.
Btw, you completely missed the point of the parent question. . .

Categorizing being young or having Asperger’s as a personal attack is on you.
