The point to be made that you were unnecessarily rude and annoying? Yeah. :)
You don't want to go down that road. I simply shoved what you were doing back in your face. The rudeness came about with myself and everyone else having to fit a square peg in a round hole for you to stop, which you did. Don't go looking for an apology, because it really wasn't getting through to you that the randumb behaviour wasn't going to be tolerated.
If you basically have an entire community telling you to stop doing something, and you do it anyways, you're going to have exactly what happened to you happen. And the fact you were annoyed is good, because that's exactly what you were putting everyone else through. Not so amusing when the roles are reversed, is it?
Either you figured out that you were being an idiot or that it's more trouble than it's worth to continue the way you were going, I don't particularly care. What matters is what you do from here on out. Either you learn what's acceptable behaviour in this community or you earn the ire of a lot more than the handful of people who already gave you heaps of shit and discover some people are capable of far, far worse than what you've seen.
If you don't want to be ruthlessly mocked or insulted, don't piss everyone off. It really doesn't get any more simple than that.
