Cog? Offended? Ha-ha. Good luck with that. 
I’ve been trying my damndest to offend that mangy primate for the past several years. He’s just too dense to know when he’s been offended. All I can do is keep trying, though. BUT I’M ONLY ONE GUY! 
There’s only so much offending I can do alone!
Well gee…I GUESS I could help you out there…you know. just to be helpful and all…
…(sniffle-sniffle)… Reeeeeeally?.. (sniffle-sniffle)…You would do that for meeeee?.. Yaaaaaaay!

Ahem!.. I’m pretty sure I just recently stated I am lousy at sarcasm, which is why I RARELY ever use it. 
And as for my introspection, that is strictly between me and my mechanic. Confidentiality laws and such.
What happens in the garage stays in the garage lol

If that is what you think, then you still have MUCH learning to do.
Just an FYI to everyone, I’m no longer his mechanic.

That’s a LIE, and you KNOW it! It’s stamped right there on my manufacture plate, “Made in the U.S.A.” Sure, I DO have metric nuts and bolts now. But only because I swapped out all the standards during my teen years. Partly because I was being rebellious, but mostly because I hated dealing with fractions when doing self-maintenance. (Also because 7.62 cm sounds much more impressive than 3 inches.)
But it’s still just three inches. Umm, three inches of what?

… Dammit, seems like I’m forgetting something… (scrolling back through thread)… Oh, shit! That’s right! Mark! Aw, crap. Sorry, dude. Lost my manners for a moment. Hang on…
No, you didn’t misjudge Cog. He’s an asshole. You’ve got him dead to rights on that. No question about it. At the same time, though, he’s kinda like a fungus. Hang around long enough, and he just sorta grows on you. Know what I mean? Can’t really blame him for his abrasiveness, though. Honestly, how cheery would YOU be if you had to walk around with a rolling pin up your ass all the time? Maybe cut him some slack here and there at times? Anyway…
Truth is, Mark, if you truly are looking for a place to vent and maybe get some feedback in an effort to learn and overcome whatever may be troubling you, then this site is a damn good start. However, in all fairness, I should tell you it would be useful to check your sensitive feelings at the door. You may not always like what you hear, but the truth can often be unpleasant like that. Many different brains in here with a wide range of life experiences and countless personal trials they’ve had to overcome along the way. More importantly, though, is that most members here are sincerely interested in trying to help those in need as best as we can. The catch, however, is that YOU have to first be willing to help YOURSELF. “Playing the victim” here will not be received well, as you may have already noticed. So, basically, if you are truly seeking advice or support, it is your decision to stay or go. If you go, then I wish you well. But if you simply want to hang out and shoot the shit with us and act like the rest of us idiots, then that is cool, too. Totally up to you.

I don’t see how discussing child abuse and being empathetic towards someone by discussing it can be construed as claiming victimhood. That is a leap y’all made with the cogs input. It’s on you, not me.
This is the problem with the you have to be on the inside to know wether a responder is joking or serious, how is anyone to know? I’m not here to discuss any issues I might have. I have damn few at this point in my life. All I seek here is reenforcement of my world view, and perhaps a few chuckles.
I will adapt to new knowledge and not respond to personal shots from people who don’t know me, it’s in the internet core, my bad for responding to it. I will adapt by ignoring those responders who’s response cannot be classified as joking or serious.
I came to this website feeling I would not join the clown choir, mostly because I’ve found nothing good comes from my unrelenting identification as an asshole among assholes. But perhaps I’m trying to swing for a fence that cannot be reached. Perhaps I should respond as a clown, go for the cheap shot response.
You’re all assholes, and like a frog, if you just had wings you would not bruise your all asshole beings when you leap to conclusions.
Kind of like that.

Don’t get biased with all members. Many post without the same colourful messaging.
BTW, I’m the one who wields the pin
Bingo! You’re learning! But why frogs? Why not something cool? Leopards leap. Why not leopards? Or how about grasshoppers? They leap, too, and they are cooler than frogs. I mean, I already KNOW I’m an asshole, but I’m not sure how I feel about being called a frog. Gonna have to contemplate that a bit… …
