I've gotta say, I was worried for a bit as I read your introduction. Intolerance is never an attractive trait. And proposing the self-fulfilling prophecy "In the event, for some reason I'm banned or everyone hates me, I can say "Well, at least I was right", is just asking for trouble. The folks here (by and large) are reasonable people and would not hate or ban you unless you did something overt to deserve it. In which case you would not be "right"; you'd be a guy who said "I'm gonna ask for trouble" and then got it.
Then I read down to further posts and found myself warming up to you. My family throws a reunion every two years on a beach in NC, and it is a wonderful time. But I can imagine living there full time is not that much fun. I like the "making a difference" comment too.
What's not to like about spiked gauntlets! I like the Barrie quote, and especially appreciate the sentiment about speaking and acting with class.
Madrigal, welcome to Gnet! I look forward to your contributions.
