I actually respect you far more than you respect yourself. If I didn't, I'd be quiet about my observations. I have nothing to gain from being so honest about what I think.
I have a very low opinion of myself. It just seems otherwise because you have an even lower one of yourselves than is actually healthy. Just my honest opinion...

I won't even ask you to justify that, but it sounds like something Drich would say. Or Rik.

I highly doubt it, just as I doubt you don't see the difference between something perhaps similar in form, but very different in essence from what I just said and what they might say. For one, I don't base what I say on an ideology not of my own making.

Would you like it from a turtle? I'll pet you. Or pat you. Or both.

If your posting history is anything to go by, you definitely think the world of yourself. It's either that or you have such a low opinion of other people that your low opinion of yourself is still higher than your opinion of others.
To be fair, I do appreciate the effort you've put forth in changing, even if the old EP still slips out every once in a while. Honestly, I think you can't help yourself sometimes and don't even realize how large your ego actually appears to be. You may tell yourself that you have a low opinion of yourself, but the words you use and the assumptions you make of other people say otherwise.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I'm allowed to be silly as well, no need to escalate things.

Affectionate or perverted... depending on one's perspective

I think some people are too sensitive. I play my part in trying to toughen them up, that's all. Nothing I do is done maliciously. I know how that sounds. It's who I am, nevertheless. Sorry?
