    P. Can I call you P?

    This is a car-wreak. I know people have been hard on you, the ones who don't have a morbid fascination with your brain-meats, but you're not covered in glory yourself. It doesn't matter who started it, down here at the bottom of page 3. Nobody is ever going to win this thing.

    Laugh it off dude. Learn from it, or don't, as you like, but none of this will sting so bad after you walk away. Try it:

    "Screw you guys, I'm going home."

    Feels good doesn't it?

    If you can find me a language in which the word CSN exists, I'll concede that you "won", and award you over 9000 internets
    can be even remotely be considered aggressive, I'm sure.

    It's aggressive to challenge the authority of a source? It's aggressive to offer a joke reward in return for evidence for an argument? Seems to me, the way to operate round here is to simply invent new meanings for words as required.

    Kindly electrocute my bottletops, there is no chicken in this canal

    Yeh, feel free.

    What on earth makes you think anything's stinging? Is a man not allowed to respond to a post, without inference of butthurt? Good grief! I argue with more fury than this with my closest friends!

    Calling wikipedia "Jimbo's big bag of trivia" is not "challenging the authority of a source".

    It's aggressive to offer a joke reward in return for evidence for an argument?
    Not per se, but it may be considered aggressive, depending on how it's phrased. In the case at hand, it can be read as a joking reply or as an arrogant belittling of the poster he responded to - or anything in between.

    There's mostly no need for that. Words have enough disparate meanings that you can screw around with already. But if that's not enough, yes, inventing new meanings is the way to go.

    Read as. Somewhat different to intended as
