Thank you for giving me the benefit of the doubt, swallowing my BS, hook, line and sinker, it is very much appreciated.

There I fixed it.

A troll, at this point, would lash ad hominem attacks back at you. I'm sorry you think I'm a troll, but I will hope to prove otherwise over time. It is true that I do not share all of the same opinions that you have, but that doesn't mean that I'm here to disrupt, destroy, or harm anyone.

If someone is honestly looking to debate with people that share opposing opinions, how do they go about convincing those others that they are not simply hanging around to disrupt them? I can't change what others have done on your forum in the past, but just because they have done so, does not mean that I will or that I am in any way like them.
