Normally I wouldn't touch a thread like this but Archatron is right. He really does infuriate me.

The thing is, rather than respond in the sometimes-teasing, sometimes-hostile manner that you use, the other forum members are trying as best they can to keep a reign on their tempers, which you are deliberately trying to ignite.

You come here, where you are initially welcomed, though nobody knows you. Then you establish yourself as an "anomaly" as you call it (that is, being a jerk), then as the forum members try to politely stop this behavior, you deride them for having an "obsession" with the issue (the issue being that you are trying to provoke us), and at the same time insult us for not being inflamed enough and being "weak" in our responses. As someone else said, there are several people here who could really tear into you but would rather not even bother to post on a thread like this or read your comments. Also, the whole idea that this was some little test or experiment you came up with for some fun seems very contrived and more like an afterthought. Am I just another poster who hasn't been able to conclude anything, and is just asking for more of your crap?

Even though I just spent time posting on this thread I'm joining others in the request that this thread be closed or deleted and Archatron banned. Nice job pissing on our welcome mat.
