You seem pretty calm so far, no big danger signs, though it's hard to tell if you'll continue replying much. It's hard to explain why I have some doubt there. A lot of agreeable people don't like to push issues into too much depth to the point of bringing out disagreements and then discussing them.

I would like to continue this conversation. It's awfully nice to be discussing with someone and have them post a comment the length of a short story full of points that, while I might not agree with them, are well-thought-out. And nothing you said has really annoyed me. Some of the things you say I wouldn't say, because a) that's just not my attitude to life, and b) I have no particular reason (yet) to try to filter who I talk to. However, I think I understand why you take that attitude, and it doesn't seem to have any negative consequences for your emotions, assuming you don't care that people comment on your reputation. (Wish I could cite that comment but I don't think I can find it again...)

Just checked your karma though. With that much you must discuss a fair amount, unless you're account is really old or you're good at writing popular top level posts that get 10 points per vote.

My account is about 3 months old. I would need to add it up properly, but for sure more than 3/4 of my karma comes from my top-level posts. I have a few (Being a Teacher and Ability to React, neither of them very controversial) that were upvoted more than I think they deserved (46 and 68 upvotes respectively, or around that) and the rest are between 10 and 20. My post Positive Thinking probably has the most comments of anything I've written...it's about the benefits of religious communities, which makes it fairly controversial here. I'm not good at writing controversial stuff (or writing non-fiction at all, really) but it's a nice feeling when you're 19 and feel kind of powerless in the world-at-large to see people replying to and discussing your ideas.
