Does that happen to you outside Hubski?

This is the question that got me to respond after this long. I've thought enough about what I'm going to say in response, and it isn't getting anywhere. No matter. I've been looking over my past comments. Is the word you're looking for "aggressive?" That's the vibe I'm getting from myself. I don't mean it, but I can see it. And there is no other place, offline or online that gets me the kind of reactions I get here.

I'm trying to think about what I say here a few times before I write it, so bear with me. I don't know what's different here compared to other websites. I don't speak any differently here than I do anywhere else. It's confusing to me when I get negative reactions to things I don't think are offensive. I'm certainly a large part of the problem (acting like a dick on purpose does not help the issue of being perceived as one), but I don't know how to change the way I talk and act.

I'm bad at long posts. I was going to remain silent and lurk after my original post, but after thinking about it I realized that it would probably come across as whining. This is as much as I can get straight in my head right now. Tomorrow I might tackle the mountain that is the other response. I've certainly read it enough times to get a grip on it. Hopefully this isn't beating a dead horse.
