That's what I was afraid of. It wasn't supposed to be edgy or cool or arrogant or annoying - I was just trying to have some fun with it, but I think I overplayed my hand.

I'm not insulted at all. On the contrary, I'm grateful that everyone has been so honest about it.
As it turns out, the prof thought it was funny and actually counted the first thing I posted as my paper (minus 10 points for being late). Nonetheless, I'm going to be more careful about what I write in the future. I figure if you guys see it as sounding arrogant, annoying, or any of the other things it came off sounding like, I'm bound to run into a teacher who is similarly unamused, and who is likely to express their disapproval in my grade.
