LOL. I'm like that too, Mouse. My BS detector has spidey senses... and I'm cool with people calling me on my own BS. I can be very intolerant when I think people are being fake. I also have a huge problem with people telling me what to do or think or being condescending to me. People in my real life know that it's okay to debate with me and argue with me. I like a good debate... and sometimes it turns out I lose the debate and I realize I was wrong... but that's a good thing. That's how I learn more about myself. I get fed up when people aren't open to discussion and try to tell me what to do or talk down to me.

So, I can be a very supportive person. I think that's why so many people feel comfortable confiding in me. But, if I see BS, I'll call BULLSH*T! That's just the way I am and I don't think it makes me a bad person. When someone isn't being REAL, I will usually tell them what I think and hope that they're open to my opinion.

We all have things that push our buttons and that's a good thing. It's good to know who we are and have strong opinions. I have a wonderful relationship with my mother, but whenever she gets into religious territory and starts trying to push her beliefs on me, I tell her to stop. I respect other people's beliefs and I like discussion about beliefs, but I expect people to respect my right to my own beliefs and not proselytize or push their own agenda on me. That's just who I am... and you are who you are. Embrace who you are. Knowing who you are and having opinions and being open to debate is a good thing, IMO. Life would be pretty damn boring if everyone agreed on everything all the time.
