No matter our differences, I want you to know I consider you someone others in this game's community should look up to.
    I'll admit that I've a bias towards data and the deeper meaning behind it, but I'm not so rigid in my beliefs in that I'd adhere to the results only if they prove favorable to my preconceptions. Even if they "hurt" me, even if they've challenged everything I believed previously, I should accept them for how they are post further investigation and alter my world view accordingly. I know that everything I believe could one day be proven wrong in their entirety and go about my studies with that in mind. There is a great benefit to approaching the sciences with this mindset. Would that a great few others would understand and acknowledge this, I think we could prosper further and fully facilitate the least amount of suffering for everyone.


    And I'd like to thank you for engaging with me to this degree. While we have our differences, I do not think you to be a bad person nor an abject failure. It was hardly a proper discussion/debate with the appropriate mediation and necessary rules, but I do think through finding common ground and actually speaking with one another without the vehement vitriol are we able to compromise in spite of differing schools of thought. I am merely an aspiring composer, pianist and occasional forum troll, but I will accept your praise and positive perception of me in regards to this game's community. What makes this one of the better communities on the market is our capacity for understanding despite the difference of backgrounds. I'd like to extend likewise praise to yourself, though some might disagree with you.

What you've done here is something I've thought of doing, albeit usually in different fields where I actually have expertise or friends who are experts to assist, but never do because it'd be too much effort especially considering the venue.

    You've thoroughly proven that apathetic conclusion wrong through your efforts here. Thank you.
