You misunderstood what I was saying, because you thought I was accusing you have having an attitude problem. When I’m misunderstood, I don’t blame the reader; I just try to make myself clearer. I was also offering some constructive advice, in case you do decide to hang around. (And I’m not trying to drive you off. Please do stay, if you like it here.)
If you don’t like my posts, don’t read them, and don’t respond to them. If you start a thread, people will post in it, whether or not you like them, or what they have to say. Telling people to stop posting in your thread is impolite. And, as you can see, ineffective. 
<— See, I use a smilie because I smiled as I typed it, but you can’t see that, and if I don’t use a smilie, you don’t know that it was not just a truthful statement, but a little joke to amuse the reader.
When you write a book, you reread your work carefully, several times, and it is also read by copyreaders and editors. And even then, only the best writing gets published. The great thing about the internet, and the horrible thing about the interent, is that you think it, you type it, you hit a button, and bing, it’s up there for everyone to read. Given that, many people appreciate having a tool like smilies to help us communicate quickly and clearly. (If you absolutely refuse to use smilies, then imagine that I’m a magical, wise, helpful fairie editor who sits on your shoulder, and every time you compose a post, I say, “That post sounds like it was written by an abrasive, overly defensive ninny with a huge sense of entitlement, and I know that’s not what you’re trying to convey! Rewrite it in a friendlier tone!”)
But, you don’t seem very happy with how some people are reacting to them. Do you just want your own posts up there on the internet for you to admire, or do you actually want to communicate what you’re thinking and feeling? At least one poster is telling you that, if you are being honest about what you meant by your posts, you are not expressing your feelings well. You don’t have to use smilies, but IMHO you should be more explicit about communicating your tone.
All this truck about insulting you could mean, “Ha, ha, c’mon, let’s get to know each other by joking around!” or “I truly feel that you are trying to insult me in this thread, and I want you to know that see what’s going on, and I resent it,” or, “I think you’re a bunch of jerks, so lets have you show your true colors,” or “My self-esteem is as fragile as an eggshell. Kick it in, so we can prove to everyone once and for all I’m worthless,” or, “I’m desperate for any kind of attention, positive or negative,” or something else entirely. Seriously. I cannot tell from the tone of your writing what you’re hoping to accomplish. Throw us a bone, will ya?
