Why do you feel that opinions should be considered accusations? If I had a very high opinion of you and stated (with an adjective) that I thought you were "awesome", would you consider this an accusation? If so, don't worry, as I cannot forsee this happening any time soon.
Regarding your statement "We are not going to get along all that well, at least based on our shared "opinions" so far" ... I am not trying to get along with you so feel free to despise me if you like ;-] In fact, maybe you should reconsider responding to my posts completely, as you seem to totally misunderstand and misrepresent them, and I am definately tiring of responding to your misguided statements. What gives you the impression that when I see an insecure person I run up to them and say "You are insecure, do you mind if I try to help you with this?". You interject a lot of your own opinions about me without having any idea of who I really am. It seems you have this compelling need to subject every sentence I make to minute scrutiny, such as the 15 minute expression. First of all, not everybody wants 15 minutes of fame at all, despite the popularity of the statement, yet you want to amend the sentence. Well then, start a crusade to have it changed. I can't see what this has to do with me. As far as us having "meaningful discussions in relative harmony", I am still waiting for the first one and not looking forward to the next one. I am not insulted by your inability to grasp the simple concept that I am trying to portray, or your abrasive posting style. In fact, from the other posts that I have seen so far, you seem rather needy of acceptance yourself, or maybe your appologetic style is just an attempt to disguise what you really want to say but don't think you can get away with?
