I don't see anything that's painful at all about your post. If you think there is, then I just must be tougher than most people you deal with...
If you are trying to tell me that I get no gaddamn respect, heh tell me about. I see you're telling me you have no respect for me either. Doesn't surprise me.

As far as "guns blazing", I've stood up for myself when necessary, and frequently been jovial and witty in posts. I've also made an effort to be as honest and forthright as I can. I understand that can be too much for some people. There's not much for me to say about that.

You already know you're avoided? Was that a typo? Who's avoiding you? Not me. Why would anyone avoid you?

As far as my ego, I think I deserve whatever ego I've got, because I can back it up - and I have irl. And, well, I guess I do think rather highly of myself. I have reasons for it though. It's who I am, how I do things, and the way I've lived my life. It's also relative, to what I've seen from others irl.

Regarding my nick, ever heard of a magazine called "lemon people"? That's not why I chose lemon, I was just wondering.

And finally, does nobody here want to learn? I have a lot of insight to offer, but people here need to be strong enough to hear it, and smart enough to learn from me. If you and others are not good enough to respect me, and refuse to listen to the information I have to give out, then I am just wasting my time.
