This is seriously pissing me off now. People downvote and never explain why. Did any of my statements ring as aggressive? Am I wrong in my assumptions? Or is it that people cannot stand someone who uses numbers as an account name.

FWIW I upvoted all your downvoted comments. The sense of entitlement and voyeurism in some other comments is repulsive.

Yes. You come off as someone trying to be insulting.
