Alrighty, I was with you up until your zinger toward Dissident at the end. I don't see you as equal in stature with Diss, especially considering your penchant for having an air of arrogance, not to mention your little display toward me that presumed "knowing who you were" was some sort of threat that needed a display of a terribly compromised email domain. This didn't win you points in a boxing match. It showed some slight immaturity, if you're willing to accept I'm being honest with you.

I found you first through researching the topic. I also found one of our posters here at the same time, whom I did not even know had any history with you. I later chatted with him privately. Nothing he said made me think better of you, FTR. I took probably an hour of my own time to read about you, before you ever posted here. My opinion was that you were honestly attracted to girls and troubled enough by it to have to put yourself out there into the world with your conclusions. You won some serious attention in the professional community, regardless of the fact that your conclusions made it easy for professionals to approach you and study you without repercussion to their own careers.

Still, you were being honest, and you got some pros studying the attraction. I also know from er, just some connections let's say... that you caught some serious heat from haters, some due to being out, some due to being seen as a traitor to your kind. Still, you stand. It might not win your perspective any points from me, but it does seem to demand enough respect to let you speak your own truth. That's really my entire hand, and I am showing it. I wait to see when you show yours, but I guess that's yet to be seen. Understandable from the hostility you must stll fend off, but at some point I'm sure you'll be understood completely.
