Wow. You must have really low self-esteem to try using your presence in a
particular group as some kind of bargaining chip, especially considering
you're doing so in a lame attempt to combat trolling. Hasn't anyone told
you, in your years online, that the only appropriate response to trolling is
to ignore it? Any response automatically means you lose and brings the troll
much entertainment. A response of "behave or else I'll go hang out on your
turf" is very amusing to the trolls, but very annoying to those of us here
who don't care about your little feud with them. If you refuse to stop
feeding the trolls, at least leave AGNP out of the equation.

This very post is off-topic, seeing as how you're not actually discussing
any aspect of Pokemon, but rather threatening the general public that you
might do so here in the future. If you had relevant Pokemon questions or
comments, you could post them here. You would get flamed by those members of
AGNP who dislike you for your past actions, but there's a chance that
SOMEONE would reply with relevant information. However, you should NOT post
threats that don't actually have anything to do with Pokemon. If you want to
make irrelevant posts in the ghost town that is TGP, knock yourself out, but
please don't do so here.

Your writing Pokemon-themed posts wouldn't disrupt the natural balance of
AGNP. Your pathetic attempt at combating trolls by posting here does, and if
future posts would be like this one (and I imagine they would, since you
feel the need to fuel trolling), yes, I'd rather you talk to yourself in
TGP.

If you don't blame AGNP for the actions of the trolls you fuel with your
responses, then don't behave hypocritically by bringing your little feud to
this innocent group.

You should realize there's a problem with what you're doing if you feel the
need to apologize for your actions three times in your post. You really need
to learn how to play well with others. I don't know much about what you did
to get the AGNP chat regulars mad at you, but if the kinds of things you did
there were anything like this little stunt, I can see why you're so disliked
by them. As of right now, I see you as an excellent example of why Internet
access should be restricted to certain young people as they develop. If you
want to stop feeling antagonized, ignore the trolls on TGP and stay away
from AGNP regulars who dislike you. That's all it takes, not threats of
posting on AGNP that disrupt the newsgroup.
