You don't have to comprehend the "hostile attitude of the agent" if indeed that's what was presented to you. That's but one agent. And, if you are right and he was wrong, and you are at liberty to submit a stat. dec. in lieu, then just get on with that instead of coming here and screaming about how outrageous it all is and singularly unfair to you.
It seems you didn't even read my posts but only came here to defend your little clique. In my first post I asked if my agent's behavior was normal - I was looking for input from people who may have experienced something similar, if I can't do that here what purpose then does this forum serve ? You don't get to decide what others find outrageous nor to dictate how people should react to any situation.
You are the one getting enraged. Your posts are dripping with it.
Far from it. I was merely annoyed by the poster who brought up their ancestry somehow insinuating that newcomers shouldn't be seeking to change a system (however archaic) established by their forefathers. For some reason it riled them up, they probably have no idea how bigoted they come across. In retrospect I should just have ignored that post.
You evidently have serious anger management issues and, most likely, a borderline personality disorder. By your own admission, you don't make friends easily; every place you have worked you have found to be "toxic"; you have decided best to be self-employed and to not have to interact with others. Everything you have said here bears witness to that. Has it occurred to you that the single common denominator in what is evidently a long line of failed interpersonal relationships is YOU? It is you sorely lacking something in your makeup that inhibits civil discourse with others in, apparently, a variety of circumstances.
I've made no secret of that fact that I'm neurodivergent and yes I've decided for myself that it's far more preferable for my peace of mind to be self-employed rather than continue the mentally taxing chore of masking in order to fit in. I value my peace of mind more than artificial societal constructs.
Having joined this forum barely a week ago, you express overall disapproval with the forum thus:
So, having just joined and started a single thread, you see fit to remonstrate about "the worst part of posting here" when you failed to have every poster who responded fall into line and say exactly what you wanted to hear. How mature.
I had no idea this forum was some sort of clique where what I can post depends on how long I have been a member of the club. It's not that I don't want to hear that the system cannot be changed but the manner in which the status quo was being defended. I suppose I would have felt the same way a few centuries ago if someone was defending, say, slavery or any other archaic system.
And what are the "lot of assumptions about immigrants" that I make? Name even one.
By mentioning how much you had paid in taxes over a lifetime you came across as implying that newcomers who haven't contributed much to the economy yet somehow had less of a right to complain and seek to change a system they don't agree with.
