I don't really mind a passionate debate, I actually like it, and I find that in general, anything worth taking seriously is worth making fun of, too. Life would be soooooo boring if we all agreed on everything, and we all need to get fired up, even get angry sometimes- it teaches us a lot about ourselves and other people when we do. It's all part of the journey- yes, we need to remember to be decent to each other, yes, we need to check ourselves when we're feeling mean, but nothing gets too out of hand here, even OUTSIDE!, and how would you know you need to take a step back if you never took a step too far?
It's just nice to know that when the chips are down, even if you think I'm an idiot or a whiner or a froth at the mouth tree-hugging liberal commie pinko (I am, btw, I promise you), you guys all want me to succeed in my struggle with smoking, and you're here every day to make me feel strong enough and to give me the answers I need, and especially, most important of all- to help me keep my sense of humor about it.
That's why I'm here, and I want you to succeed too, no matter what kind of self-deluded arrogant fascist rage-aholic troll you may be. I've still got a hug and an atta girl/boyfor you if you need it.
