Umm. I think I’ve been able to reach my goals on the internet better
than most people.

The fact that I’m very clear about my opinions is probably part of it.

If people get offended by accurate portrayals of the current state of

I hate that whole “victim philosophy”.  The truth shouldn’t be sugarcoated.
