Aren't you trying to convey information to everyone? Why do you care about replies? Most people who read a post never reply anyway, and I'm pretty sure 90% of the people's reactions (partially conveyed in downvotes - though most people don't vote either) were ONLY based on your opening, and most likely half the people didn't even read past that after you insulted them. It would have been smarter to put your insults at the end of the comment so people have already invested in reading it and THEN you tell them what stupid pigs they are. I had a professor like that once.
