I don't hate you, you just come off as insulting, or better than anyone else....which is something that a lot of people do (myself included), it's just the manner in which you do it. You have an attitude that you're the 'best, smartest' person on the site.
People can be smart in different ways. Can you skin a buck and run a trot line? lol (you probably don't get the reference)
I actually find your way of arguing far more insulting. At least being told that I am flat wrong, or an idiot, or to gtfo would be insulting to me. Further, your frequent use of "you" statements makes me believe that you are making some claim that you are objectively right. Is that not what you were directly critiquing above when you were taking about having to be 'correct'? When you say "you're wrong," I take it that you are implying you have some authority, or some knowledge that allows you to make that claim so surely. If so, what is that authority or knowledge? If, in fact, you have no such thing, then it seems to me that you are implying that you are right without having any basis for that implication. In that case, I read your comments as being based on the assumption that you are "better" or "smarter" than others yourself. Isn't that exactly the sort of attitude you seem to be condemning here? Or have I been reading your statements incorrectly?
Yeah, I am blunt....I think that's better than trying to be passive-agressive or holier-than-thou. It's fairly obvious that some people come here to 'prove' that they are smarter than everyone else....and that's a psychological issue. If you're mean, or blunt, then it's obvious....if you have to try to be smarter or 'above' everyone else, you have issues. GTFO, go somewhere else where you have competition. But, of course, you won't because you can't.....you know you can't hang. Like it's REAL hard to challenge teenagers....GMAB....get a grip.
Alright, well then I'll try to work on that. Is there anything specific about my tone or the way I phrase things that gives that impression? I swear I don't think of myself as the "best" or "smartest", and I don't want people to think that I do. Believe it or not I'm just trying to express myself, like everyone else here, so I'm going to try to do so in a less insulting way. In the meantime please don't insult me.
Do your thoughts reveal anything about your person?

Who are you, and why should I care? You don't know shit about me, so what's your point?
