71. I have to believe the vast majority are greatly annoyed by my posting style, especially...

... the vertical dots. Some folks really, really spent some time and effort and
anger, even... trying to convince me to stop. The "scrolling" involved was too
much was what I heard the most often
.
I used to ENCOURAGE folks like that, strongly and often, to put me on ignore.
That way, they wouldn't get so annoyed AND they wouldn't try so hard to
stifle my freedom of expression. Win-win.
.
And then my content is going to piss off some people -- not so much groups
as individuals. Perhaps they tried alerting to no avail and chose Ignore as a
much healthier option than getting so angry at me.
.
I think I've had fewer than a dozen posts hidden in four years -- and YOU
know what it is I do. Lately, 203 days since a hidden post with almost
1500 posts in that time.
.
Though one got me tombstoned (PPR'd) almost immediately for being
insensitive and EXTREMELY "homophobic"... until I could explain and
apologize.
.
Ironically, I learned this late Spring or Summer (I think) that, on his
Facebook page, the noted homophobe George Takei used the exact
same picture in the exact same context a whole year later.

You might be surprised to know that I've only seen ONE individual that even
approached my number (though there may be many who just don't publish
their number -- perhaps in embarrassment and/or shame as opposed to the
humility that helps keep me from bragging about mine)... and that person is
a REAL lightning rod for anger and frustration -- not, as I've seen... for
sufficient reasons (at least not what I would consider using Ignore for).
.
Another bit of irony?
.
.
I have never, ever put anyone else on Ignore... no matter how cosmically
enormous an asshole he or she impressed me as being.
.
.
.
Perhaps I should start with YOU for asking this question, h-m-m-m-m?

You're on Double Secret Probation, BUCKO!!!!!!
