1. Don't accuse me of putting the spin on things. I call it like I see it.
2. My delivery is just that, "my" delivery. God made us all different.
3. Yep. I got banned, mostly the result of crossing the line with an insult towards another. Some of you walk that fine line better than I do. I've vowed to not let anyone taunt me across it again.
3. Calling me "typically antagonizing" is an insult in itself. Don't throw that at me and then respectfully ask me to accept your advice.

Yes, I'm more blunt than some of you and perhaps even less blunt than others. If everyone could live and communicate by a higher standard then the world would be a better place but some set the bar higher than others.
You may pick and choose your words better than I do, you may present yourself in a more dignified manner, you may be more tactful in your approach, but does that give you a right to criticize me? I think the term for that is being self-righteous.

Will I accept it as constructive criticism? Yes, I will. Because even though I think you're a little out of line for expecting me to follow your advice, I know your heart must be in the right place. One word, (Shriner) allows me to give you the benefit of the doubt.
