As for you Extreme, I have to say, over in Sons of Washington I view your input as an asset. Here in this forum, I have to say, I enjoyed the site much more without your presence.
People will always disagree.
I have strong opinions that I believe deeply in, just as you do. I argued my point, just as you argued yours. I didn't personally attack you in any way, I apologized to you a few times for mistakes I admitted that I made, and I even took your side on a lot of things in here. I just don't get why you're mad at me, I really don't. I'm not mad, debates are debates. I respect anyone that debates with me and doesn't try to hang themselves afterwards. I am the first to admit I can be a brash asshole, and I generally apologize in advance for it.
I don't mean anything toward anyone personally, I never intentionally disrespect anyone, I just don't back down when I think I'm right. When I'm wrong, I admit I'm wrong, just as I have done on this site when I have been proven wrong, or found out I made a mistake. It happens, I'm human. You aren't a hateful person, and you stand by your comments. I have nothing but respect for you, so I don't understand your anger toward me. Here or anywhere else.
Narcissism is an unattractive character trait. But hey, some might say the same about me so take it for what it is.
As long as we're clear on both points
I'm not a narcissist though. I may be a conceited and stubborn dick at times, but far from narcissistic. I bash myself way more than I bash others, that's not a trait of a narcissist. I'm one of those love me or hate me type of people. I can't and won't change who I am to make anybody happy. Peoples opinions of me mean absolutely nothing to me, because in the end I am here to please my kids, my wife, myself and my family. If other people don't like me, **** em. I don't sweat it.
The problem you appear to have, is that you can't look past differences you have with people. It isn't a character flaw, it's a character trait. I don't believe anyone is flawed. We are who we are, simple as that.
Like I said in the other thread, I am going to pray for you both!
I have no problem with that at all. I said earlier, religion is not my thing, but I totally respect it. I don't bash anyone for their beliefs.
I am simply going to pray that both of you have all you desire in this world!
I have food in my stomach, a roof over my head, a wife who loves me, and two perfect children. I was able to give up years of drugs and a severe drinking problem with no help from anybody and I have been sober nearly 2 years now. That, along with a long and relatively healthy life for me and my loved ones, is all I have ever desired. I think I'm doing ok for myself. No regrets.
