Since you're so interested in my activity here[1], you may notice that my very first, apparently terrible and flame-inducing post was about me pointing out that an article spelled someone's name wrong[2], modulo transliteration. Now you might argue that I was wrong, but do you really think that was such a terrible, unproductive and antagonistic post? The next mass of downvotes came when I replied sarcastically to someone who wrote that my concerns/arguments were "stupid" and not worthwhile. That provocative post towards me was, of course, not downvoted. My follow-up to my original, downvoted, post was at first well-recieved[3], but then creeped down to 1 again for some reason.

I'm not a victim by any means, and I'm sometimes an asshole. But maybe you should stop taking Karma at face value and stop believing that this community is beyond reproach. If you want to go through my history - which on this account is quite short - at least do it better.

I'm trying to help.

Your current posting style didn't work for your last account. It doesn't seem to be working for this account.

Do you think this is working for you?

Yes, I was an asshole on my "Dewie" account, and recently on Dewie2 as well. But go over the posts I presented again - was I really being an asshole? Or did I just have opinions and priorities that people were in such disagreement with that they chose to use the "I don't like this - Downvote!"-artillery? Come on. At least address my specific points when I go to the trouble of typing them out. Instead of just playing Dr. Phil.

Yes. Thanks for underlining that for the powers that be. Well, it's not like I was hiding so who am I to complain.

> Do you think this is working for you?

Clearly, my problem is being a glutton for punishment in that I keep coming back to this poisonous community. :) It's not like the assholes on this forum are helping me be less of an asshole. (And no, you're not one of the assholes, just speaking of a subset here.)

Glad to see that I've still got some fans.
