Well, here’s my opinion: You’re completely disingenuous. I don’t think you could say the things you say (OP, e.g.) and not be aware of how it comes off. (And pages of responses telling you don’t seem to gain any traction either.)

I see you’ve been around for a while, but you still seem to be trolling. I would love to know what you’re getting out of it. Attention, sure. A perverted pleasure in manipulating people by your purported oddity.

I don’t think badly of you. Outside of this small obsession you might even be someone I’d like.

Ok, I just saw this…

A. I like to see how far can I push the envelope. Curiosity killed the cat.  
B. What you’re seeing is just brain droppings from when I’m severely sleep deprived, yo-yoing on my medication, and/or intoxicated off of Boone’s Farm.  
C. For the LOLZ. I enjoy reading people’s clever and sarcastic responses.  
D. For the LOLZ. It’s funny reading my own old posts. I’m vain like that.  
E. We’re all going to be on a new reality show about human interaction on message boards. Coming this fall on TLC, mark your calendars!  
F. All of the above.

You should create a poll in this forum asking if you come across as difficult, odd, both, or neither, and then govern your actions accordingly.
