Since you're still holding onto what I've said, it sounds like you're deciding my worth based on what little you know of me...sounds a lot like judgement.
I just got done reading another post from ElD in which he claimed that based on forum interaction, he had every right to judge you entirely based on what you've posted. I'm just being fair here, salty: if he took everything you've written and decided you're not the kind of person he'd be interested in conversing with, that's a perfectly valid judgment.

No one forgets what you've said in one area just because you display a different side in another. It only adds dimensions to you.

I'm not trying to burst the martyr bubble here, but I rather suspect it's because they have absolutely nothing in common with you and therefore a meeting would be useless. Hatred hasn't come through at all.

Thank you for explaining. I guess I saw his responses through a very guarded filter. I'm glad you stepped in!
Yet I don't think whether someone has something in common can be based on an argument. We both differ on homosexuality, it doesn't mean we don't like the same foods or music, etc.

My dad's a lawyer. I learned real quick to see things from as many different perspectives as possible, because for sure he was going to try and exploit one.

Yeh, you're a bigot, I'm not.

Americans: Is Atlantic City, NJ for old people? I don't want to be like the youngest person there.

New Jersey's an interesting place to visit. Hate driving anywhere there, though.

Atlantic City is fun to every single person I've ever heard of going there - people our age on up.

I don't drive, so that won't be hard. Where are you from, Epi?

Which time, buddy? I was born in LA, spent my childhood in Cleveland, and finished high school in Tucson. I have lived in Phoenix for thirteen years now.
