I'm not sure if this was directed at me--it if was, I would very much appreciate your saying so that I could seek to understand why you feel that way.
That being said: I have not been clear (or maybe I have been).
I never said I have never been rude or obnoxious: obviously I have been.
And I have, on occasion, apologized to those when I felt that I have done something wrong.
I also feel that during my time here many have seen me be supportive, loving, direct, and kind.
At the same time, I do not think that all my opinions are popular ones. Nor do I think that the lack of popularity should cause me to not state my unpopular opinions. I just have the ability to realize that, even an unpopular opinion can be respected when it is supported with reasoned thinking and maturity. And I have the fortitude to stand behind my opinions--if I did not, I would not post them.
Act accordingly. Your mileage may vary.
