"What are you doing to yourself, Luis? You used to be a well-respected name, around here."

Interesting observation, and I meant to get back to it yesterday, but didn't find the time.

If I was ever in fact a "well-respected name around here", it could have only been due to the fact that I spoke my mind freely, and stood firm on my convictions.

Now, you suggest that because I speak my mind freely, and stand firm on my convictions, I am becoming less well-respected around here.

I suggest that the change is in you, and not in me; I'm still doing the same thing.

Now you have raised harsh criticism of Alan Keyes to the level of 'conviction'.

Unbelievable.
