@layman,
Don't delude yourself. I doubt that anyone hates
you; they simply find your posting style abusive and your appropriation of a stereotypical "black street" persona tiresome. Hey, everyone has his own ideas about what constitutes effective communication — don't be surprised, though, if you lose part of your audience by habitual name-calling. Your opening statement is a good example. If I'm going to address a crowd where a significant number of people are Jewish, I wouldn't expect to have a positive response by opening up with, "Why do all you kikes hate me?"

Having seen you in action, I notice that your counter-arguments are often weak but you compensate for this either by nit-picking — "you spelled obfuscate wrong, cheese-eater" — or by shifting the subject, the infamous "what about?" tactic. And there's always the lapse into the street character who can get away with
anything because it ain't really layman,eh? Fine tactics in some situations but not guaranteed to be effective all the time.
So yeah, many of us have you on "ignore". And yeah, we'll check out one of your posts from time to time and invariably see the wisdom of our decision. An uncluttered page makes for a more enjoyable A2K experience. But don't kid yourself. No one is consumed with undying hatred for you because you think you're clever and delight in provocation. You occasionally exhibit exceptionally bad taste but we all find your racist, homophobic, islamophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, immoral, stupid, and disgusting comments endearing. Believe me.
We love you, layman. Don't ever change.
