re: #419 CuriousLurker

I think I was making the whole thing scarier in my head that it actually is. You guys can be pretty formidable when riled up, so broaching the subject even when everyone was calm took required me working up my courage and hoping I wasn’t poking a stick in a fire ant bed. I guess I should have a little more faith in you guys after a year of being here, huh? My bad—I know better now. :)

I try not to be formidable, but I confess to having been so thoroughly programmed by many years of the same sorts of arguments that I probably swing for the fences sometimes even when I shouldn’t. But I know you are good people, and a clear and honest thinker, and well, darnit, folks here like you.

It’s rare to be able to have an honest conversation, rather than a rhetorical contest about the Middle East. Another reason to be grateful for LGF.
