You are wrong. I don't care how other people see me because I perceive most of humanity as being in an alternate reality. I don't expect people to understand me. I don't even expect people to understand themselves (and it seems manifest to me they do not). After all most of humanity has some sort of invisible and possibly imaginary friend (and they don't all call it the same thing, or give it the same attributes). Because of this I know that I and the mass of humanity are light years apart. How could I possibly appreciate the judgment of people who seem so obviously deranged to me? Just as I probably seem obviously deranged to them. But for some reason the fact that they also view each other (frequently) as deranged because they aren't all on the same page with the invisible and possibly imaginary friend, doesn't lead them to where I am, it just leads them to think the other believers are "wrong." You made a claim based on your perception. I can't know what exactly you perceived that made you think I was ticked off. I know I wasn't ticked off. If you annoyed me at all I would put you on ignore. Because I'm busy and I don't need to be annoyed. I need recreation and I am recreating. Whether you can perceive that or not- it really isn't my problem. Unless I am wounding you. I wouldn't want to wound you. If I am wounding you in any way I will put you on ignore- because I don't want to hurt people. And since I can't possibly comprehend you, your thinking being so different from mine, I couldn't possibly know how I might hurt you.
