I've become quite aware that certain people, and I tend to believe I am n one, unfortunately, I've come to

Question

feel, who's Not liked for some reason, FOR MOST within the forum, but the reasons for this, I also feel are mere projections of the people whose choices have been made from the whims and prejudices of their imaginations.

WHAT THEN - AND THIS IS THE QUESTION...would be an acceptable way to present oneself to a diversified populace, forum, in order not to attract what I KNOW is undeserved dislike, since I know myself far better than EVER anyone out there would know the truest person within me?

Has there been a secret, unspoken vote taken, and by it a rule applied on "how to answer, if one expects to be accepted?" And I do not know it?

What requirements would be advisable for me to adhere to, in order to be considered JUST another contributor or questioner?

I ask this sincerely..because unless I decide to leave, I'll not respond to subtle intimidation that I leave.

And this is making me wonder what some people want to see me do, which to them I'm not doing.

& please : "don't be hatin' "

Answer 1

Uhhh what?

Answer 2

it was a shock to me when i first came on line how many people really enjoy upsetting others and causing disruption just for the fun of it.

people with clear idealistic views seem to get the brunt of it. i got haters pursuing me from site to site for being a feminist!

you must be doing something right to get their attention ;-)

Answer 3

You lost me at "I've come to feel "

Answer 4

Carry on Skydance.  It's not a terrible thing to be despised by morons.

Answer 5

you're definitely looking into this waaaaay to far. first of all, this community is just a bunch of people looking to further their knowledge and test what they know by responding to other questions. and you don't have to present yourself in any particular way you just do whatever the **** you want. i am answering this question without caring about the next person who answers and what they say. they could call me fat or stupid or anything and since ignorance is bliss i dont care what they say.

in order to be "just another contributor" contribute. simple as that. say what is on your mind and don't care how other people respond.

i dont want to see you do anything (unless, of course, you are a sword swallower). you dont have to do anything and the only thing that someone else would want from you is that if they have a question and you have the answer. thats it. they aren't going to need you for a pat on the back or to buy them a drink this is all knowledge, this community.

do what you feel that's what i do and i dont even worry about whether or not my answer or my questions are appreciated i do what i feel and it feels great. i recommend you do the same. right after you stop thinking into stuff so much.

oh, yeah, also one thing i noticed is that when people ask questions that aren't even questions then people make fun of them, or, and i'm not making fun of you, when their questions are long and convoluted like yours they might be made fun of. but this all goes back to ignorance is bliss and what those people say don't matter.

Answer 6

Methylphenidate might help.

Answer 7

Nah!  Sam's right.  Don't overthink it.  You will find "haters" here though, and that can't be helped.  They come here just to bash people who come here to talk about the topic.  Just ask your questions and go from there...
