Listen asshole, Can we meet for coffee next week? I'd like to discuss our shared synergies around online advertising.

Being an asshole, who apparently can't get through a day of posting without attacking someone or caricaturing a position with which you disagree, is. I mean, come on." Fandroids hate Apple." "Leftists hate private property." You're not fooling anyone: the schtick you are employing is to make statements that are tailored to offend, under the guise of "stating your opinion," and then get outraged when they do offend and people take advantage of the moderation mechanism of a downvote to say, "we don't want this here." You don't get to be surprised or offended when you do that and conflating rejection of your behavior with rejection of your beliefs is intellectually dishonest. The problem with the reception of your posts is you. I know this, because I've been there, and I chose not to be quite as much of an ass. You, apparently, have not. Act like less of an asshole and I'll bet you that what you see as "ideological downvotes" go away.
