You guys like me here enough to have successfully derailed my Presidential campaign by painting me as this "evul monstar consurvateev!" and have posters go on other boards and say that my change in views was just to get votes in Atlasia.
You've got to be able to take the blows, man. Criticism presents an opportunity to demonstrate resilience and fortitude. Sure it can get nasty, but you've got to respond with some passion and some fire and tell the haters where to go (in only the most diplomatic of ways, of course
)
