If I were one of the people you were addressing just now, you would have already lost me and/or pissed me off even further as soon as you said...

This is an example of talking down to someone as if their reasoning for disliking your action is flawed, and is something they themselves cannot overcome. Cyren did this a lot. Please keep in mind it's only going to further distance you from the others if that's the way you speak to people who take exception to your actions. Try to take a moment and consider how the others will take your words before you tell them that it's just their own fault and that they must not be able to grasp the concept.

Also, autoplaying a vid in a primarily ooc post is not something people will really be that fond of... and it doesn't mean they can't "grasp" the concept; it just means don't do it.

I know you are trying and you have challenges to overcome but I believe if you stop and think while putting yourself in others' shoes before posting, you'd be able to avoid doing a lot of the things others have taken exception to.
