I seriously swear people on here just like starting crap with me..

Well, eventually you might have to "step back" and look at this objectively-- even though it's just words on a screen, you tend to come across as somewhat sensitive/disrespectful. I have no problem with you per se-- you're patient with me when I buy stuff from you on e-bay and can't pay immediately, for example. Nobody on here is perfect. Everyone has their flaws/short-comings. You tend to take yourself too seriously, and I think some people might feel like you are over-compensating for something. If you honestly think people "just like starting crap with you," you might want to ask yourself why that is. Again, I'm not saying that I think you're a jerk or anything like that; nobody's perfect. I do feel that certain short-comings are more tolerable than others, and that people in general (especially people on here) have low tolerance levels. Most of us on here are very liberal, but that can be extremely taxing because humans are selfish by nature and being liberal takes a lot out of you. I almost feel like we're harsher to one another than we are to people who don't like TMNT at times. I think a lot of us have the same insecurities/warts, and so we feel that we can't really take our emotions out on anyone but one another. In a sense it's backward thinking, but in a sense it isn't.
I don't know Big Foot that well, but he seems to be a fairly decent person. I don't think he meant you any ill will, I think he was just confused because he has his own sense of what is appropriate on these forums, and couldn't understand why you weren't just posting to the thread designated for e-bay items. Vaughn, you DO seem to get upset easily, and I think that some members might subconsciously try to see if they can get a rise out of you because it is kind of easy sometimes. I'm not saying that this kind of behavior is appropriate on their part, but you might want to think about the persona you project on here and how you might have contributed to that dynamic.
*whew*
My fingers are tired.
