I'm worried I'm too much of a jerk. I used to think I had solved this problem, but I've recently encountered (or, more accurately, stopped ignoring) evidence that my tone is usually too hostile, negative, mean, horrible &c.

Could some people go through my comment history, and point out where I could improve? Sometimes think I'm exactly enough of a jerk, but other times I bet I cross the line.

Have you tried going through your critical posts/IRC comments and pretending to be on the receiving end? Typical mind fallacy notwithstanding, this should be a decent first step.
