My God, it's full of THREAD BOMBS!

THREAD BOMBERS... if you believe the quality of someone's work is sub-par it's certainly ok to (tactfully) offer advice. But hounding and harrassing their every effort seems to have become the status quo in this thread and I'm asking it to finally stop.
I myself am guilty of some of the most heinous acts of photoshoppery ever known on this board. You don't want me to turn the worst of them into thread bombs... but I will if I have to.

Ah, yes. When you lack the stones to contest a warning, why not take the passive-aggressive "thread bomb" route?
It's called making fun of myself. I am allowed to do that, right?
If you do it, we all do it.
After two MODs telling you not to, doing it at this point would constitute Trolling.
But feel free!
But feel free!

Are there any responses to your thread bombs in this thread besides praise or laughter that will meet with your approval?
Because from where I sit, Locutus pretty much summed up my general feelings on the matter, and he did so in a non-trolling, thoughtful, constructive way. Many others in this thread have voiced similar opinions in semi-friendly ways, and now I'm trying to do so appropriately and without attacking or trolling you.
Locutus' analogy to singing was spot-on. I'm a terrible singer. Terrible. Can't stay on key if my life depended on it. So you know what I do? I don't sing. Or I sing to myself when I'm alone. I'd much rather be good at it, considering my siblings all are quite proficient, educated and accomplished musicians in their own right, but I inherited Dad's singing voice and thereby have roughly 3% skill at it.
So I don't sing.
Once in a while, Tharp, you stumble on to something that is marginally amusing. But the rest of these, especially the baseless, clearly hateful, ignorant images attacking Barack Obama, are not funny. At all. I just don't understand how, after so many people on this board have told you why you refuse to listen. Or why, after you have hounded moderator after moderator about it, you think anyone is going to really see whatever quest you're on to prove whatever you're trying to prove should be taken seriously. You certainly aren't winning any friends over this issue though, on either side of the coin so again, I ask, why? After all the tattling to the mods about it here, I have to wonder ... why continue? What are you trying to achieve? You're certainly not amusing many people, so I have to wonder what the point of all of this is?
Maybe you are funny as hell in real life. I don't know. I've never met you. In real life, I'm quite a nice person. You don't know that because you've never met me. The point is, stop. Listen. Read. Understand. Otherwise, grow a pair and learn to live with criticism you don't like.
If a thread bomb you make is not funny, you can't expect either praise or silence. That's not how it works. You might be called on to explain it. But you can't force your audience to like it either.

Meh...I'm a douche in real live and in here. 
Actually...it would be flaming. You continuing to do as you're doing would be trolling.

I'm going to quote this for emphasis.
Tharp, whether your thread bombs are funny or not is irrelevant to me. But most of the time I don't even understand what they're trying to say! Yet, instead of taking any time to explain your intentions (sometimes jokes do need an explanation), all you do is make another image that I don't understand.
I have noticed you around the rest of the board, and I have never had a problem with you. You seem rather normal elsewhere, but in this thread, I just don't get your motivations.
I love it. And the great thing is we can use it during any change over.
It looks like she has a 5 oclock shadow in that pic.
^Hmmm… so, what do we do with this now:
