I want to discuss my perspective so that I can understand how other people think, and other people can understand how I think. That way hopefully we can get a step closer to mutual understanding, which is my ideal.
I suppose some might say that it'd be better for me to not even say anything, but I really do believe in the sharing of opinions, controversial or otherwise. I try to act consistently with those convictions. There are things that frustrate me, but I want to try to understand so that hopefully it can help make the forum better for everyone in some way. It's not helpful for me if I don't understand where people are honestly coming from.

-Bringing up you're modship while presenting your personal opinion of another user-
Ad Hominems filled your post before this one; maybe things aren't as personal as you may think. Just a thought.
