If I come off that way V, I am not trying to. I'd love to have my faults pointed out to me, because I'd love to offend and annoy as few people as possible. Wouldn't want to be 'that guy' on the forum that nobody really likes. So seriously, discuss your issues with me and point your figures at me all you like. I use a great deal of sarcasm, it is just the way I am. I use it on these boards, I use it in life. Probably not the greatest thing, but it is me. I never mean any harm by it, and I mean it in the friendliest ways. But no doubt some people don't get it, and I probably come off as a complete dick hole.

I don't feel I am more intelligent than everyone else, or attempt to make those who disagree with me feel like idiots. If I do accomplish this sometimes, it is not my intention. I have a huge amount of respect for the opinions of others, including yours. Like Ash explained, the reason so many of us react to you the way we do isn't because of the opinions you hold, but the way in which you express them.

There are so many things in the world that are completely subjective. Even the things that are really solid truths in the world can only be perceived through the eyes of people, who will inevitably interpret them differently. Which makes it hard to really pin anything down as an absolute truth. Ultimately, almost anything is debatable. Even things taught as fact in our world, are often only fact from a certain point of view.

So when you make arguments like, these two actors don't look anything alike, and another member says, I dunno, to me they look a lot alike, and you respond by saying, Yeah, well they look alike to you because you are obviously really bad at faces, and I am freakin awesome with faces, so my feelings on this matter trump yours. You are going to start to get under people's skin. There is nothing wrong with that fact that you have a strong opinion about something, and nobody faults you for having an opinion different from their own. The problem here is in the fact that you are essentially telling people their opinions are invalid or less qualified than yours (as in, well obviously you are no good at faces, and I am).
