I've rarely had the privilege of participating in discussion with a person more understanding of our fellows, and so noble that even those that disparage them are extolled for their good works, as you demonstrate in the OP, and have as long as I've known of you. While you are not unaffected by other's slights and malignant behaviour, as you are suffering here, today, you inevitably rise above such foolish and harmful behaviour yourself, hoping but that such people might also do some good for someone, even if only by accident.
I just was struck by this about your nature, recalling your comments here about Jeff Berwick, and how you characterize them and your relationship. You clearly walk your talk, devote yourself to the betterment of humanity, and despite your own imperfections properly undertake humility that is the strong foundation of wisdom.
I want to thank you for providing a sound and powerful example to all of us of humility and grace. Though you suffer the slings and arrows of approbrium far more than any I know, you exemplify better than any of us how to be a good and beneficial pillar of your communities. So...
Thanks!
