Quote:That's fair. I shouldn't be considered a troll just because of the way I ask my questions. That's just the way I've always been. I know it comes off as blunt and maybe abrupt but it's what I'm used to. I can imagine it being annoying but I don't really know any other way. Sometimes I'm not even aware of it.
I empathise to a point: I can be blunt and insensitive too. Part of it is a character flaw; I refuse to suffer fools.Plus, I have the social skills of a Mac truck.
However, I've never actually been banned. I was threatened once, told them to go fuck themselves and left.
I belong to five forums. This is my second favourite. BUT all are only internet forums. If I get really upset, I just leave (usually) without comment. You can't win with snide or angry parting shots. Takes me all of 30 minutes to find a new forum,but a lot longer to find a good one. This is one of best around in my opinion. Translation :there are very few people here who really get on my nerves. I like and respect most people here. In return, most are very tolerant of me, something I deeply appreciate.
