P.S.
I am dismayed that you were ambushed by the far right crowd, especially on the welcome thread.
My impression is that you are highly intelligent, very decent and admirably enthusiastic. I think you are a perfect example of the values that I love in this community and I very much want you on board. I'm sure that I personally would enjoy interacting with you.
Also, I am confident you will go far in life. Good dragon hunting!
So pointing out flaws in someone's position is now "ambushing" them?
Disagreeing is ok. Disagreeing is often productive. Framing your disagreement as a personal attack is not ok. Lets treat each other with respect.

I wouldn't call it an ambush, but in any case Acty emerged from that donnybrook in quite a good shape :-)
