Hope it’s ok with Rower that I type this but since I’m driving across the U.S. currently I have a bit of free time.

We all have our issues and sin. (For those of us married to sharp wives we are indirectly reminded of our frailties often.)

It’s ok to think someone is a jackass because of their behavior and even expressing an opinion on it but that shouldn’t exclude loving and respecting that person in a general sense as a fellow human being.

Adam, I don’t think anyone “hates” you. You seem like a fun, passionate, intense guy. (Like a Richard Newton in a younger earth suit.) Maybe process the criticism and own what you need to own?

Personally I appreciate being thought of as a jackass by some; it means I’m properly stirring things up by being a provocateur.


Cue the Kumbaya tape.
