You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. Gratuitously insulting others, and seeking attention by doing so, are dysfunctional behaviors, but, of course, there's no law against doing these things. However, generally speaking, people on this forum tend to treat each other with respect and often outright kindness. Regardless of your bravado, my guess is that, as a human being, you probably want to be treated with respect and dignity; telling us you expect to get attacked when you enter the forum with offensive behavior is at a minimum merely an anticipatory, preemptive defense mechanism, designed to take the sting out of receiving back what you dish out, and at worst may be an effort on your part to be treated shabbily because you already secretly have a shabby opinion of yourself. Regardless of the reasons for your behavior, the problem is about you, not the people you insult. My suggestion to my fellow forum members is to ignore you whenever you offer an insult, rather than treat you in the way you treat others. Perhaps, eventually, you will understand that one gets to experience others positively by treating others positively.
Regarding my own personal taste in modifications, you may not share it, you may consider my choices childish or worthless, and that is your right, but to gratuitously insult it is simply not fitting for a decent human being. I need not defend my right to my opinions or personal style (as long as I do not hurt or shame others), and I will not do so (because I reserve the right as a man who is old enough to be your father to be in my third childhood and enjoy the car I bought). However, I will indeed defend my right, and the right of every single person on this forum -- including you -- to be treated with the dignity and respect that human beings deserve from each other. All of us -- including you -- are entitled to that.
