Here's my thoughts about MrBrute. I think he really, really does want to make friends here, but he's stumbled a few times, made a few bad decisions (neg repping in retaliation), and got his ass roundly handed to him by the members here.
I don't believe he means to be "troll-ish" in his behavior, I think he's just eagerly trying to jump in with both feet to make friends here, but because of his rough start and how people have responded to everything he posts in a way to try to bait him. Not every one - but certainly some select members are clearly baiting him. I would be defensive as well.
MrBrute - my advise to you - take a hiatus from starting new threads for a few days. DO use the search function for some of your questions - as I told you privately, there's a wealth of information here just waiting for you to discover it. Lurk a bit, feel free however, to participate in threads where you think you can make a POSITIVE contribution, but don't take other's bait, and don't tell people you've put them on ignore - it makes you look childish - and is getting you the negative attention that you don't want.
I hope a year from now we'll all look back and laugh TOGETHER at your rough start, and you'll be a welcome and positive contributing member with lots of friends here.
