Am I too f*ing confrontational?
I give up. I give nice chipper answers to leading questions, and ask questions back to the questioners questioning leading questions yet they refuse to answer beyond saying things like "others have more self assurance" and all I want to do is argue with anything. So tell me, am I just to f*ing confrontational? If no, why won't disruptors discuss with me?

Thanks to underpants for this:

1. Because if they truly discuss issues with you, they will reveal themselves
as disruptors!

3. I'm not quite sure about the leading questioners questioning questions
but I don't believe it's possible to be "too" confrontational.
You're either confrontational or non-confrontational.

The former may seem annoying; but they tend to resolve problems. The latter appear quite pleasant and may enjoy popularity; but popularity will neither fix their flat tire nor mend their broken relationship.

13. I think I have a reputation for 1 person who seems to come back..
under other names. It is a certain style of posting, which them ignores me. Even when I try to be nice and draw them out.

14. Sounds like a waste of energy to me...
Confrontation only works with people who have basic respect for others.

I'd write them off until they appear willing to post with civility.

4. Why don't you go jump in a lake? What the hell's your problem?
Oh, wait--I thought you were asking for a f*ing confrontation.

Beyond that, I don't know. Maybe you could try to be more personally abusive?
