Haha, you should go look at my comment history. I just mined myself a whole bunch of downvotes in a situation because I'm a default asshole.

I'm taking a radical transparency tactic these days. I feel like I've been covering and hiding enough, keeping up appearances. I'm not trying to be unpleasant, by no means. I actually apologized in the downvoted thread, because I was clearly in the wrong.

Nonetheless, in the future I am plowing straight ahead, come what may. Maybe you should reserve your downvotes for things that you're passionate about though.

The truth is I'm here for connection, not affection.
