I act the same in person and people decide what they think of me, I've never in my life encountered as much hostility as I have on forums though. Personally I think it's almost gotten to the point of just being a running joke. It's no lie that I don't share the views of many people on here and am happy to share my disagreement with certain opinions, but it's warranted and I'm happy to debate them. I can also understand that my posts can be long-winded and overly thought out, that's just how I am though andultimately I am still getting my message across like anyone else, regardless, I don't see any of this as a reason for hatred, certainly not to the extent that I get.
