Don't say I didn't warn you.
I appreciate your concern, of course.
To be fair to the members of AF, there have been plenty of people who were very accepting of me from very early on, and/or whom I consider forum friends. This message does not apply to them.
"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."
