Kenny.
We had a thread asking this question awhile back and I didn't get a chance to post. I was busy with my MIL's visit (and what a great visit it was- having SO's mom stay with us was truly wonderful!).
However, I wanted to answer this question.
I've known Kenny for many years (so please don't anyone get offend, a lot of you do influence me a great deal!).
Kenny taught me, I hate to sound so dramatic but, not just about posting but about life.
If I had to boil it down, to be able to describe what Kenny taught me (and to his credit, he taught me by example as much as by talking with me about it) that I can state my opinions and just leave it at that.
Not every political argument, friendly debate, or horrible provocation should be taken to the point of getting wrapped up in it. It must be human nature to want people to agree with us, to see our point-of-view, and I was never one particularly to stop myself from being provoked by people on forums who wanted to, actually enjoyed, provoking me, either, so I've been in my share of flame wars, in the past.
I think it's a great pleasure of getting a little bit older that you get a little bit wiser, and a little bit better at being yourself, and drawing the line where you want to, and letting other people just deal with it if the have a problem, without being aggressive or rude or anything like that.
Thanks, Kenny.
Please know that you will be in our thoughts. My SO and I send you lots of dust for your upcoming surgery.
Hugs,
Danny
