I thought first and foremost, you were honest. At the end of the day, there's no greater value than integrity. Second, I thought you were open to viewpoints other/opposite of yours. That...is what is missing in that forum. You either believe what the masses believe, you better be ready for ugliness. There is NO respect in those threads. Zero. Honestly, it sickens me that as a society, we can't value the opinions of others. It's shameful. And there's little hope for the future when upcoming generations see the example being set for them. And yet, you were respectful. You admitted some shortcomings and mistakes. And that's super commendable. I could go on and on, but -
If those threads were filled with attitudes emulated by you, this forum would be a better place. Sadly, it's not.
