^ While I think that this is exactly some of the kind which doesn't make the climate better around here.

I tried my best to tally up the votes so far.
voted "yes": Sean Trane (presumably) The Dark Elf
voted "no": Saperlipopette! Easy Money octopus-4
didn't vote: David_D AFlowerKingCrimson
So, it seems we've got 5 (or 6) "yes" and votes 3 "no" votes that bear absolutely no function other than pure poll filler.

I do think that you often are a lot more rude than what the situation calls for, but I honestly didn't have a real problem with you until you decided that it was a good idea to berate people for not engaging sufficiently with this self-indulgent sobfest of a thread

If my silly vent thread needs any replies at this point, your straight-to-the-point honesty is probably the only kind of posting that really does it justice. <3

I haven't voted on this, but I will tell you, in a nutshell, the issue you have is about boundaries, and knowing when you have crossed them....I am not a registered therapist, so I will not elaborate further, other than that if you have annoyed someone, you need to be aware of when that has occurred, and why, and learn from it....

Anyway, I think that it's best to move on from this thread.

I don't know really. Internet forums like these can encourage more abrasive interaction but no one is going to die from an insult. However it should be a comfortable place to post for everyone and forum guidelines need to adhered to otherwie it would just turn into a 'zoo'. Personally I get more annoyed with spam type posting and people who have an agenda. You don't seem to have this going on so I voted ''No''.

We generally view those on the other side of an argument as jerks. It's our binary nature. Occasionally, our views are correct.

Nope, not at all. I like you a lot more since you changed your annoying fishy avatar.

This is something I would have asked a long time ago back when I cared way more about what people thought of me than I do now. Personally, I've been called pretty much every name in the book as have a lot of us. Asking if people think you are a jerk or not is a step in the right direction as far as self improvement goes (something I don't see at all from some of the other users on here). However, at the same time it can be viewed as attention seeking and even antagonizing. If you don't think you are a jerk than what does it matter? And if you do then try to do something about it. Go to a therapist or do a search online on how to be a better person. Jerks are typically (imo) very selfish people so strive to be more understanding and less selfish.
So anyway, no I didn't vote but my opinion is similar to David's in that I don't know you (or your posts) well enough to make an informed decision regarding your stature as a jerk. Good luck though.

I don't think genuine jerks would be as concerned about what others think.
-And while I'm at it, I still think PA-members being unable to stay away from threads that are not for them, or to their distaste are causing most of the unnecessary friction here.
