who wants to tickle me?

Sounds like the best thing to do. I should probably take advantage of my ignore list as well. Too bad others seem to be trying their best to bait you, especially when you've been MIA for a while.

Remember: I told you this would happen. I haven't a clue what has been going on in grand detail, but things always get back to me. At first I had a good chuckle, because I anticipated it. But now, I have to be honest; the people here make me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Me too.

You've been getting in people's faces, being rude, saying provocative and controversial things to them while making no effort to sugarcoat your opinions, and generally being completely open about your desire to be a troll, for about a year, and you're surprised that you're starting to feel out of place here? What did you think was going to happen?

This. I don't think you're a bad guy, but you do seem to enjoy being a rude pain in the ass and then feeling sorry for yourself about the feedback from your ass-aholism. It's not just you though, that seems to be going around. Having said that, if you've found a way to enjoy this place without spoiling it for others and giving yourself a complex it's all good.

As far as visiting this website, I feel like I can finally breath again.

I don't think he was saying he feels out of place or is feeling sorry for himself, more that he has changed his behavior by ignoring the people that annoyed him and he feels better for it. But maybe my reading comprehension is off.

I don't think you are actually reading the tenor of this message. My behavior didn't cause me to "get here" as it were because quite frankly that behavior was the reason I became a known entity on this forum in the first place. And you can call it trolling all you want Jeff, but the fact is, if you believe so vehemently that all I am is a troll, you and your staff have done absolutely nothing to knock me down a peg or two. I've had private message conversations with you and your staff members on this point; I've been on my last chance before reprimand for MONTHS now. I received nothing for the Aimeegate situation from a single moderator. If my 'trolling' behavior is so well outlined and noted, I would imagine that over the course of a year, I'd have taken a vacation.

I don't feel so much out of place as I do, in honesty, refreshed.

If you think I'm so cantankerous, that my attitude is such a problem, you need only look at others for reflected behaviors, because meangry isn't the only person on the TMF who is doing this to a lengthy extreme.

I don't feel sorry myself with the way I conduct my business unless it is a situation I feel like harmed someone I cared about. Ironically enough, I think that happened here and I decided not to further exacerbate things, to see if things could be hashed out. But I don't feel sorry that a bunch of people think I'm an asshole because, Bella, I have gotten that in every community I have been in. I have gotten it places I have lived from people that don't agree with me. But those are things I not only work through, but overcome. I'm a respected member of other community's in which things got much more vile than here. And it is difficult to have people around me that have a genuine dislike of me.

But don't get it crossed; I don't feel sorry for myself. I posted this because I have gotten away from something I felt was causing me to become unsettled and pretty much have felt great ever since. And by great, I mean "I feel as if no stress is currently in my life", because as minuscule as it really is, TMF gendis was the only thing I could point towards and get pissed about on a daily basis.

Maybe there is a day I will come back to active posting there, and maybe when that day comes people will be surprised on just how mellow I've become to it. I appreciate the good guy sentiment though.

People have thought you were an asshole in every community you've been in? Why do you think that is?

Eh, don't sweat needing gendis breaks, I freely admit having to avoid from time to time so the vein in my temple didn't pop

I know what it is. In those places, it is because I go against conventional thought processes. I am a huge Terrell Owens fan, for instance. And people think I say the things I do to piss people off. But the reality is, I actually believe those things I say.

Here, it might have to do with the fact that some of my opinions are too conventional. And I will openly state that I have become more well versed in getting people caught up into philosophical quandaries with their stances. I'm big on showing others that what they think they are saying is not different, that there is a standard that they state they are aware of that they are not.

What I do not understand is the blanket assessment of meangry as troll. This figment of a human being that somehow rolls underneath bridges and just wants to make everybody miserable. I'm more thought provoking with my posting habits for much of what I do than I am with 'trolling', and even when people think I am 'trolling', I am not doing that ninety percent of the time. When I make shitty personal comments toward sketch, yeah, I totally get that I am trolling him. Or any number of people I am just inherently dismissive of. But the next moment I'm posting in another thread about something different.
