This is how it came across to you, and a few others. The majority of the comments on this post are supportive.

However, what cannot be confused is you stating that i have 'come across as an asshole'.

What's your course of action now, then?

Add you to my ignore list, along with the other person who called me 'a son of a bitch'.

These comments are disgraceful and are genuine reasons to be ashamed.
