so is that it? Am I written off as a sociopath because I voiced disagreement, even though by the very logic you described to me I am the prime target for changing someone's opinions?
I hope that's not true, but if it is, it's damn disappointing, and not just because I'll have lost you as an internet friend, but because I'll have lost you as an idol. Ranked high among my values is forgiveness. Leniency. Acceptance, despite flaws and mistakes. Maybe it's because I'm a cynic and think people suck and are bound to fuck up, that I am willing to accept them even when they approach terrible. Maybe it's just because I recognize myself as so flawed that to think of others not accepting me because of those flaws despite having their own fills me with horrifying loneliness. And maybe you, with your stalwart idealism, unflagging introspection and moral precision, maybe you don't have as much room for people like me. Well I wouldn't have room for people like that. Not among my friends and certainly not among my heroes.
Or maybe you're just busy and haven't gotten around to replying. In which case, I hope you'll also excuse me for being melodramatic.
