Something I've noticed online and in real life.. people seem to like it when someone has an edge and is slightly obnoxious..

Whenever someone offended me here, I'd look them up. They'd always seem to have lots of users mentioning them. Seems that if you're not making a big noise and you're rarely mean you're ignored/nobody takes any notice.

It only works if you have an edge from the beginning. If you develop the edge after being shy and timid, people won't like that because they've already labelled you.
