I donā€™t get it, dudeā€¦ you seem to be going out of your way to try and antagonize people here. Would you ever walk into a party and start acting like a jerk, just because some people asked you to put out your cigarette or stop using curse words? Because thatā€™s what youā€™re doing here. ---

Would you ever walk into a party and start acting like a jerk, just because some people asked you to put out your cigarette or stop using curse words? Because thatā€™s what youā€™re doing here. Well apart from very few posters such as you, no one has shown ME respect in this thread. So I responded back in the same way. Being insulted in over a hundred posts set me off. Maybe I shouldnā€™t have responded how I have. But if memory serves, the only antagonism apart from the OP were to people who were antagonizing me in this thread first.

> [@Gateway](#): > > Well apart from very few posters such as you, no one has shown ME respect in this thread. Why the fuck should we show you the slightest bit of respect? You barge in, type like you are mentally crippled, attack and antagonize anyone who corrects you and show absolutely not the slightest trace of intelligence. An amoeba would know enough to lurk a bit in a new forum and bone up on the local customs and procedures. But not you. So you got jumped on like the whiny-assed crybaby you are. Tough shit. ---

If you really do have an interest in becoming a part of this community, then you need to make some effort at getting along. Playing the victim (whether legitimate or not) and antagonizing people is not going to help, unless your goal is just to needle people. ---
