I'm something of a bitch. I love to stir the pot. So I'm still personally
granting you non-troll status for sentimental reasons.

The reason people were abusive to you is that you aren't as clever as you
think you are.

If you think your original question was pure & sincere, then you're even
less clever than we think you are.

Perhaps you're borderline yourself and that explains your childish display
of undisciplined and minor talent.

Seriously, dude, you wouldn't be the last comic standing.
