BG don't let it bother you, I'm a pretty good judge of character, and I say you've got a lot of it. You aren't mean, you contribute to this community in a positive manner, and it seems that just about everyone (except those who are generally dislikable themselves) seems to like you.

You're full of enough character but not enough of a people pleaser to put SOMEONE off. I suppose if someone really gets their panties in a wad by reading anything typed in the 3rd person, well they're just weirdos who get upset over nothing.

The people who really put me off on these forums are the ones who are just mean-spirited. This is supposed to be a community helping one another, not your average annonymous interwebs hate-spewing "look at the size of my e-p33n" forum. I don't accuse them directly, I just smile and hope that they eventually see that their methods of interacting aren't welcome.
