Just as the late William F. Buckley, Jr. (God bless him) cast aside the John Birch Society as a lunatic fringe, we must be willing to do the same.

If you're interested in being fair ('cause I have sharply rebuked you several times) you've been quite divisive and tending to a typical post as exampled in your above post.

Of note, I recently complimented you. I've done this at least two and a half times. You don't appear to notice. I was sincere. I'll continue to try and let you know when I disagree with you.

Just because I disagree with you in several areas shouldn't cause you to feel I'm against you personally. Can we kiss and make up?

Perhaps we are much alike in that we both have a humorous side which tends to come out snarky at times. IMO, a lot of the things we discuss are serious. I imagine it is to you as well.

Truly, I do respect those many here who have so much diplomacy. I tend to be more heart on the sleeve, not always an asset.

It's clear I've need of skills development. At risk of failure, I assure you I'll attempt to be more polite towards you.

It seems I've unintentionally (perhaps personally) offended you more then anyone has. Can you forgive me? I trust I can count on your not holding a grudge and having a bit of patience as well.
