I just realized I was supposed to test cal, alk, etc "today" and it's 2am the next morning, so I don't really have time to read the responses as I usually do...but my two cents is that I trust you more for these write-ups and discussions that push people to think. Yeah, some are gonna hate it, but some of us actually love to learn and adjust our thinking XD
...And the beauty? Even if some people don't like what you have to say, you've made your opinions known and maybe provoked someone to discuss something that would otherwise be left in the dark, and you learn what other people's positions are on the subject at hand. Win-win.
