I often love digging a bit deeper (if interested). And one who can often see reason in the opinions/thoughts of others....whether I agree with them or not.

I think I would indeed deny being accusatory, but adversarial? - likely - too many here want to jump into an argument with pre-conceived notions of whom they are arguing with just because that person might not agree 100%, or may see some things differently.

I have no agenda (hard to imagine that I guess) other then to discuss things I am interested in....guns, et. al. primarily, and constitutional history. Very interesting those.

The misdeeds of others is something we have seem to have little control over in a free society (besides incarceration etc.) , particularly when those misdeeds are of a 1st time occurrence.
