That strikes me as odd. I disagree with people, and am maybe too honest, but I don't attack people, just their ideas. I will stand by my opinion even if it isn't the popular one, I guess that might unsettle you.
My only and constant reason for any debate with you is you state your emotions and feelings on some issues as fact. It's probably just a grammatical anomaly on your part, and I suspect it is, because we never get too emotionally charged in a discussion. thanks for that.

Cheers mate.
My emotions and feelings as fact? They always are, but I get what your saying. Grammatical? Yeah, I really don't have a lot of faith in my writing ability, though your damn sharp for calling it. I'll call it a foible of mine in some regards. What might seem as me pontificating fact is really personal faith that I am what I say. I'm cheerleading myself. I pass no judgement on others here. None. Unless It's the obvious entertainment of taking a piss which I really enjoy. I believe the responsibility of understanding is a little more on the observer, especially on a web forum which can be challenging for poor communicators. I'll usually take the high misunderstanding road when reading posts. On a personal note, I'll be 47 this summer. I've had a hell of a rough time the last five years and I want peace. In it's most simple form, I just wanna dish out the very thing I want back and with no expectations or conditions, so I put it out there. You're a very solid dude in my book. You've shared and helped others with your personal experiences, you call people out in a chill and measured way that has to be responded to. There is absolutely no way I can ever get heated with you. Why miss out on a potentially creative and informative exchange. Believe me, I need the help.
Not saying you are
incorrect grammatically, and I'm only about 6 years behind you in age!

I guess and example would be saying

now to me this is an emotional statement made as fact. When I read it I see no room for other views, it's not your opinion you're giving but fact.
My feelings on this are that while most people don't notice they're doing it, it's not so subtly hostile. Now it's not Neb in this case that's the issue, ( and I would be inclined to point this out if you were talking about me as well, people have a right to form their own opinions about me ) it's the language used.
But yeah, maybe I'm taking you too literally, and I'm Ok with saying that about Neb if we can throw b0unce, TITBAG, Leisuremuffin, or Tone Deaf's name in there instead if we want to.
Beyond that just so people know, there's not a person here on these forums I despise, even if I disagree with them, it's just words filling time between beats and noise.
