In my experience (which is admittedly based on your posts to your LJ because that's all the interaction I have with you), you have not changed much at all since I met you. You still talk about the same issues, you still don't respond to help, nor can you bring yourself to ask for it, and you still get offended if anyone disagrees with anything you say about the world, no matter how miniscule the disagreement is compared to the places they're agreeing with you.
As far as the other, and also in my experience, you don't respond to either carrots OR sticks if they come with any criticism at all, or any feedback that isn't 100% positive. I could be piling carrots in front of you and you'd still focus on the single twig that made it into the pile - and then reject it all and feel justified in doing so, as you did with my first comment to this post because I dared to use the word "crap" and the metaphor "throwing it back in my face."
Essentially, you're asking me to sugar-coat my feedback and make sure I never, ever say a single thing that might possibly offend you, and that's one thing I'm not going to be able to do for you, Brian. To be honest, I'm flabbergasted that you managed to take offense at the first comment I made, when I was doing my level best to be calm and neutral. At this point, no matter what I say, you'll manage to find an attack in it somehow, because your triggers are so many and often so unusual that there's no avoiding them.
