Ugh.
I'm a gentle soul, I don't like it when people are aggressive and rude lol. You can blame my mother for that.
Not sure if that's what you meant by "heated discussions" though, so I may be off base.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
