 I agree that I don't know either of them morally, and I am not above them morally speaking.

My adjective of describing them as "gross" was poor.

My objective was simply to guide folks to a better tool for tomorrow without setting either side of a cultural war on the defensive.

 Genuinely shocked. How rare is it to see a man objectively assess his position and concede anything with no regard for pride. Iā€™m broke as they come with 4 kids a wife, but I would support any reasonable endeavor you endorsed. We need more men like you.

 I try to consistently assess my position in the Universe.

Most will claim they want the truth, but most will reject it when it appears to be going against them.

I think the truth is you and I probably will agree on most things if given enough time and energy to discuss it long enough without either party consciously not turning violent against the other.

I think humanity's history has proved this to be the case time and time again.

We must overcome that animalistic fear to turn violent while also becoming completely vulnerable to our brothers and sisters.

I assume with no doubt that you wish the best for your children based on your previous statement.

I asked you to speak to me if I were your child for that reason. I want to hear from a man who cares about his child.

It was great meeting you. Best of luck to you and your family. šŸ™

 Completely agree. Well said. And likewise! All the best.
