Reread your words, my friend. My assessment was accurate based on you musings. What you say is how you are perceived. Particularly in a forum that has no other means of evaluation.

Well, you have a point there. Actually, what people often forget is that 70% of interpersonal communication is actually all extra-language: tone, gestures, expressions, timing, etc. Text is not a great instrument for highly nuances discussion, often. Although it depends on the participants, obviously
But in any case, well, no, I do not "keep" Nixon on a pedestal. Your perception may obviously be different.
I was hoping the discussion might give you food for thought. If not, well no real loss. We can agree to disagree.
Fair enough. I believe we all have the same goals here. Mostly. Close enough. You seem spirited. I trust you would have my back. I can assure you that I would have yours.
I greatly appreciate the discussion. And, I hope that I'm open enough to consider other views (even though like many, I have far too high an opinion of my own opinions).
I trust you would have my back.
I trust so too.
To me, proof of the pudding is an ability to share and discuss opposing views without acrimony, and then, in the end, reinforce mutual solidarity. Because what unites us is far, far greater and more important than what might divide us (opinions and views). Thank you for emphasizing this point!

That is enough!
