you've also got to realize how many a$$hats we see on here every week, trying to take on a well respected member, just to boost their own ego. THAT is the main reason you got trolled so hard... not because any of us even knew enough about you to say for sure that you were a complete idiot, an all around a$$hole, or anything of the sort. But, mainly due to the fact that we see it SO often, that when we see it start to look that way, our first reaction is to troll the fvck out of that member, and get them to leave... because of how annoying it is, especially to those of us who frequent this site regularly. Do you get what i'm trying to say here?
I'm not saying that we should all continue to troll you, because that's still up in the air. you've just gotta realize, that even though this is a public forum, many members here do take certain things seriously, because of how much time they have invested in the site... so when they see someone new, doing the same type of ish that they've seen a million times before, it will illicite the same type of response, you know.
saying stuff like "i have a huge following" , "math isnt a huge part of designing", or even "type ish correctly if you want to give me advice" ... those posts right there are what lead to 95% of the trolling, because they are so boastful, and certain ones seemed to attack respected members, you know.
