Well done for starting this thread, and for being prepared to accept the inevitable teasing
I suspect the motivation behind it isn't so much flouncing/attention seeking, but more a case of not wishing to be somewhere you're not wanted.
A few weeks ago, I went through a protracted period of endless blazing cyber rows with a couple of tag-team FMs. I was very vocal on here and stubbornly determined to stand up to them. But gradually it occurred to me that in being so vocal & argumentative with these people, I was starting to become a pain in the butt to the majority of FMs. That's why I started a similar thread to yours. I would also hate to intrude and be somewhere I'm not welcome. Yes, it's a public forum. No, it's not RL. Yes, ultimately, it's only words on a screen. But, despite all this, let's not forget that human emotions figure in the equation too.
There are times on here when the obvious dislike felt towards me is an almost palpable entity. But these times are far outweighed by the crazy/surreal/mentalist threads, when I sit with tears of laughter on my face.
For every 1 person you may feel is against you there are probably at least 10 who do enjoy your being here. Keep that thought, maybe?
Oh, and in case you're wondering, I voted no
That's it.
I'm aware of a situation between myself and some other FMs, that's one thing and I have to decide for myself whether I can tolerate it or not but there is also the feeling that I might be percieved as being as you say, a nuisance by other FMs. If that were the case then that's something else to consider altogether.
u're only a nuisance to others if they CHOOSE to bother to read ur posts - thats their call NOT YOURS.
You have valid points to make - and AGAIN I will state that I agree with u. A lot dont - and dont agree with what I have had to say in the past - who who gives a shit??
U were given a brain to use it - not sit by and keep ur gob shut for fear of upsetting anyone.
At the end of the day none of us REALLY know each other in here - its a forum - debate happens - it gets heated - some people are more hot-headed than others.
I personally have not found anything u have posted to be offensive (or untrue til proven otherwise)
STAY!

They are just so terribly spensive and might be shit
