Hello Sathyaish,
Going thru the postings by you & other members in the past couple of days, suggest look @ your attempts from a few different points of view.
There's nothing wrong @ self-promotion per se. There are TWO ways one does this exercise--based on SELF-STRENGTHS OR based on the weakness/lacunae/wrongs [or in the Worst-case-scenario--denigration] OF THE OTHERS. You seem to have chosen the later method. Strictly speaking, again like I said, there may not be anything wrong in this--but there WILL be consequences. One has to be prepared for them--and, mind you, they MAY NOT be exactly what one thinks they will be. Like that saying goes: In nature, there are no Rights or Wrongs--only Consequences.
I am sure most, including you, would have noticed this way of interacting with others in all areas of human interaction--personal, business, official, political & even among friends. But take it from me, this sort/method of self-promotion DOESN'T take one very far & that's when the whole chain of consequences begin leading to retribution/pain/attribution-of-motives, etc--for a simple reason: it becomes very easy & at the same time very tough to even realize, when one is crossing the 'THIN LINE' from 'self-promotion' to 'self-aggrandization' [by when any course-correction becomes very tough--if not altogether impossible]. Hope you get the point.
There's one comment I can't desist from making w.r.t. your lines: "Furthermore, my posts have contributed to the content of your forum and have engaged many users in discussion. Finally, I do engage in discussions around my posts and your forum does benefit from that."
When one says/does/contributes/mentions anything in a public forum/platform like CiteHR, pl note that it's for OTHERS to judge/evaluate whether the inputs have contributed in any way to the general knowledge-enhancement of the Forum, if at all.
Human psychology being what it is, it little matters what the intent was meant to be in any interaction--all that matters is HOW IS IT VIEWED. If I think I am praising you, but you think that I am abusing you, your RESPONSE will be guided by YOUR PERCEPTION & not my intent, howsoever noble.
And this is in addition to what (Cite Contribution) mentioned about the unsaid rules of CiteHR interaction--which contributed in a BIG way in making it what it is today--Sharing without expectations [one can define this aspect in many ways]. If kudos come, well & good, if not, then still fine with it--since the initial & basic focus was always on 'Sharing' & not on the kudos or how much of it [or to put it in another way--what's in it for me?].
And this is what actually made me get active in CiteHR way back in 2009 in the First place--something that practices [in howsoever limited way] what the BhagavatGita says: Your right & duty/responsibility [though the English words 'duty' or 'responsibility' don't quite convey the EXACT meaning of the Sanskrit words used in the original text--"Farz" could be the closest in Hindi/Urdu] are limited to perform your action to the best of your ability, but NOT in expecting the fruits/results to your benefit.
I do hope this is taken in the right perspective.
All the Best.
Rgds,
TS
