Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 18, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I'm not sure what kind of response you are looking for here, or what is your sincere intent in posting this question. Do you want people to say "Yes, you're a Thundering Bitch" so you can get properly fired up and respond in kind? Or "There, there, no, of course you're not"? Are you doing genuine introspection here, or are you just curious what your public image is, or were you bored and felt like seeing what kind of responses you'd get?

I do not think you're a "Thundering Bitch." But I think you know perfectly well why people (elsewhere, without rules forbidding such personal attacks) might call you that. You like being belligerent and you like a good brawl, and once you're pissed off you think you're in a street fight and all rules go out the window. We've had this conversation many times. I would find your antagonism less aggravating if you were less thin-skinned about it.

Are you doing genuine introspection here

I'm trying to. I do want feedback on the impression I leave. I don't want "oh no you are funny and we love you" and I don't want "yeah fuck off cunt". But I do want to work on my flaws where I can. I know that only reporting half of a conversation doesn't give much to really go on, but yeah: am I being a bitch, or just having fun?
