I apologize here & now to anyone I may have done this too, be it being critical of someone's idea or opinion or just responding negatively in what was aimed at garnering positive responses.

I am ornery by nature, I enjoy arguing and playing the devil's advocate, and if I can annoy or confuse someone I get a sense of personal satisfaction from it, but I can also see both sides of an argument, even in ones that I may not agree with either side. I'm trying to grow beyond my foot-in-mouth nature & trying to practice greater discernment in my words & deeds.

A lot of people in real life don't call me out when I say horrible things because I have a persona of confidence & wit, and a lot of times they just let me be mean & funny - it's negative encouragement - but I put up an intimidating front. Here, no one should have to feel intimidated enough to not say, "Hey, that was uncalled for." - to me or anyone else.
