You say that there is a mob mentality, which I don’t quite understand. You turned people off in the very first thread you posted in, and you’ve continued to do so since then. If the same few people were constantly on you and attempting to insult you, then I would understand this “mob mentality” you speak of. But even from looking at the threads I posted here as examples, there are many people (excluding the ones in this thread) who have disagreed with you, and who you get snarky with.
It doesn’t become a debate with you, it becomes post after post of “I don’t care what you think. You misunderstood me, and that’s your problem.” And that’s going to create issues no matter what message board you post in.

It is the same people over and over.
So what if someone disagrees with me about something in my first thread? Be an adult and GET OVER IT. I have the ability to disagree with someone in one thread about something and then express agreement with them over another issue in a different thread.
If I get snarky, it is because someone else initiated the snarkiness and I respond in kind. Don't even try to act like people don't get snarky with me first.
People around here seem to pride themselves on snarkiness and if someone complains about it they tell them to get over it. Those same people should take their own advice.
As far as misunderstandings, the fact is these people you speak of don't know how to accept it when they are wrong. Instead of simply admitting that they misread something I wrote, they continuously work to make it seem as if what I said wasn't clear. I can think of maybe one instance where my statement could have been interpreted in more than one way. All other times what I said was crystal clear.
