For one, defining yourself in majority of the things you do not like and have not read rather than what things you do like and are interested in makes it difficult to approach you. You actively distance yourself that way.
Some people can be reading it as you being proud of avoiding things that are common and popular interests. That can also make it difficult to say anything.
Beyond that, waiting half an hour and then saying you're expecting hostility also doesn't really impress a favorable first impression of yourself upon others. As SeaTurtle just now noted- since this is a long reply I'm writing- people are not paying attention to the board at all hours and minutes of the day.
Judging us as hostile before we've even said anything, with a hostile attitude on your own part, again makes it less likely that people will comment or be inclined to comment.
No one likes to pet the dog that's barking angrily, so to speak.
Anyways, hi.
