I shall explain myself.
I do not think you can determine the difference between an insult, and a joke, when either is about/directed to you.
I had said this statement, because it was based upon an observation.

Jannet. You remind me of my estranged older brother. You two seem to think and speak EXACTLY alike.
Next thing I'll probably find out your last name starts with an H and you recently got a sex change.
Belial had said this, and you had responded with:
Belial, kiss my Puerto Rican ass after a good shit. See? Why the hell do I bother posting anything? It took me a good 10 minutes to write that, and all you can do is har-har it to death
And you took my post, regarding that I do not differentiate peoples intelligence, I just know that people are intelligent, as an insult. I was not referring to your intelligence, or anyone elses. I just find boasts (or modest claims) of intelligence are meaningless. It is impossible to measure ones intelligence, ones knowledge, as one is always (I mean ALWAYS) learning.
This was not something intended to insult you, not should it. I am stating one of my beliefs. Looking at it, now, I realise I should have stated so.
Going back to my first quote in this post, you had said this:
What?????????? How can you tell me when a joke is not insulting to me???? Yes you fucking can. If you're joking, and I took it as an insult, who the hell are you to tell me that it wasn't insulting?
I believe it is called humour. I personally think that you have been overreacting a lot on this board, from what people say - I say that as someone who has "gotten to know" these people who have "insulted" you. I probably would have made the same assumption then, as you are, but I am sure that they are not insulting you. It's just the way the message comes across to you. I've said it before - "for want of a better word", can be used to excuse some cases of an insult, such as me saying "this computer is gay!". It's obvious the computer is not "gay", but I say it nonetheless. A lot (Yes, I know I am generalising) people say this, for want of a better word, and this is some of what you are taking offence from. Some of it, yes, in fact is a joke. You take this as an insult, too, I cannot think of a definate reason why. Is it because the overwhelming amounnt of it coming towards you? I am saying this because I know it from experience, it is unfair to receive any amount of abuse, and when it does happen, you cannot always think straight, any thing added to it seems against you.
I have nothing against you. I have no reason to. I don't know if anyone has met you, and developed an unbridled hate for you, but apart from that, I cannot see why anyone should be insulting you, and abusing you on this forum.
I have made this post, not to excuse my actions (If they truly need to be excused), but to explain them. If you feel I am not accomplishing this, then say so.
My advice, though, is to control yourself. Analyse peoples posts from a neutral perpspective, read through the whole thread, in a neutral mindset. Don't read through and think "Look at how much an arsehole he's been to me" but try to find their logic, and your logic, and see how it all works. Think with your head, not your heart, as a lot of people do in situations like this.
Cheers,

Did you say you're in Yonkers? I'm familiar with the place- Central Ave, Getty Square, etc.
