No, I don't hate you. You're pretty close to me in age and I see you in a similar boat as far a lot of things, I like any poster that I can find relatable in some way.
People have different political beliefs, some have a hard time separating emotion from that but that's their problem not mine. I'm not ever going to give myself an ulcer because of someone else's "thought crimes." If people hated everyone that argued for gun rights then PPR would get shut down since it's like the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals at this point which is probably why some frustration got taken out on you. Just be confident in the fact that you are on the right side of things.
In the end, it doesn't actually matter since this is not congress and our arguments are ultimately pointless so who cares? I don't even think most of my posts get read and I probably post more walls of text in PPR than anyone. I do it because I like the interaction and find it stimulating, it's a special interest of mine.
