That is not a very nice thing to say

Especially since you know what it is like to be picked on why would you turn into such a mean person?

Well, it wasn't meant to be happiness and sunshine.

Ahhh, but therein lies the difference. I do not pick on others, I simply respond to others, usually based on their attitude toward me. Since a good chunk of the time, their attitudes are judgmental without getting to know me first, I simply respond to get them to go away. I learned a long time ago--yes, from being picked on--that people who will judge you based on an outdated criteria of social hierarchy usually aren't people that make good friends anyway.
As it is, the icon is specifically a somewhat humorous comeback that is not directed at any specific person reading it, and the artists comments are only me sharing how I came up with it. It's not the Louvre.
I'm not a mean person, although I may come off that way if you glance, and you're certainly entitled to your opinion of me.
I did not make the icon to offend you, I did not write the comments to make you sad, and I did not set out to be mean to people by making this icon. It's specifically sarcasm and dry humor. True, it's not a nice thing to say, I agree. But I would like to respectfully point out that I am not picking on anyone here, I'm just making icons--most of which express my frustration with various social situations.
If you were actually offended, I'm sorry about that. Since there is a large amount of people on dA making icons that are much cheerier, you could always check them out instead.

Thank you for your comment.

I would have thought that a lifetime of social rejection would have taught you the importance of being nice. It seems that instead of taking good from a situation, you have simply turned into your tormentors.

I remember the same thing. people would always think I was weird because I had a definition for bourgeois or insufferable and they were reading a sarah dessen book.

that has some rather snappy language lovely!

Oh I like it very much! It gives you time to run away while the other person tries to comprehend what you just said. Brilliant!

No one ever gets too old to learn a new way of being stupid.

Cracks me up every time...

I no longer suffer from social rejection because I no longer try to make friends with vapid fools, like the ones I grew up with. I think it's a plus, because I can now have book discussions with people who actually read them. Most of my social frustration now stems from the aforementioned vapid fools, who haven't yet seemed to understand that I don't want to be friends with them.
Actually, I'm quite nice, and I do put a good bit of importance on manners. You will notice that I am being polite in this conversation. I am not a YouTube commenter here.
Most people that talk to me think I'm fairly nice. Sorry that you do not.

I disagree--I have not turned into any kind of tormentor. I have taken quite a bit of good from my situation; I have developed a fairly good wit that generally defuses aggression by making the other person blink and walk away instead of attempting to continue to bother me.
I will restate my point that I do not, and have never, picked on others. You most likely won't believe me, so this is my last reply. The conversation is now over.
Again, I apologize that you were so offended. I did not mean to offend. Not everyone likes sarcasm.

That's exactly the point! You should read the comments below. I think they blocked me. Oh well. At least you're one of the people who knows I'm actually nice.

I see no problem in becoming a tormentor to your tormentors.

An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind...but at least that other bastard'll be in the same boat as you.
