I'm sure some people would consider me a troll, while I think I'm just writing honestly when I see things I don't agree with. Yet reading what you just wrote makes me want to quit this site forever. On most sites we know not to reveal enough to get doxxed. Here we reveal a lot thinking we're dealing with serious people. Stupid mistake. Thanks for the warning about the stalkers.

I’m pretty sure that the ones that have problems with me, consider me to be an arrogant old “OK boomer.” Maybe they’re right. I don’t think so, but, as they say, if your feet are wet, and you see pyramids, you’re in de Nile (or a fountain in Vegas). I don’t attack folks, or try to intimidate them. My worst crime is to be annoying.
This is a professional venue. It may not always seem like it, but people can get and lose careers, by their behavior, hereabouts. I’m done with mine. I don’t really need to impress anyone, but if I fight with someone, it could have severe consequences for them. I know how to draw the worst out in people, and make them show their ass. They may “win” their fight, here, and lose everything else. A pyrric victory.
Even if I don’t like someone, I don’t actually want to cause them damage. I would sincerely like to be a positive influence, if at all possible. As I said, I used to be a rather nasty troll, and one of the reasons I participate here, is as recompense. I believe amends need to be made.
This site is Disneyland. Maybe it can’t last, but it has, so far. I like it here. Most folks here have some truly great stuff to share, and I learn something every day. I am truly humbled by some of the participants, here. I make a point of hanging out with people smarter than I am. I’ve done that, all my life. I participate, because I want to be a good citizen, and it’s actually kind of an honor to be here.
If it gets bad, I can always hightail it outta here. I have done that many times, in the past.
