I agree that the victim model sucks. I was actively trying to distance myself from it through harsh and angry rhetoric but failed. Probably the sarcasm was the mistake that made me seem victim like. What should I do to distance myself further, since I've apparently failed? No one wants to deal with a victim which is definitely justified. At the same time, I want to complain.

My response should be viewed in context of multiple high numbers negative reputations I received on multiple posts in different discussion threads. I wouldn't have responded like that to one single instance. But I had multiple instances where good posts, just like the one above, received multiple negative reputations. I wanted to complain about that. It seems like as soon as I opposed pendanterrific on the other thread everyone started smashing on everything I said, which is stupid and justifies a response on my part.

The specific above response was flawed, although I still strongly defend its sentiment. I don't want to apologize, exactly, because I feel that being angry with the hordes of negative reputation is justified. At the same time I wish that it had been phrased differently, and that I had more specifically tailored my response to address the people swarming me with bad karma.

I apologize for that response to all people on LessWrong who did not downvote my good comments, such as (presumably) you. I do not and will not apologize to the people who downvoted my comments without any real justification, those guys are assholes. I will also not apologize to the people who are willfully misunderstanding me or who are attacking every statement I make.
