Precisely, glad we have that understanding. And if everyone else can be as passionate as they so often are, so can I. And I am definitely very passionate about the things I address.

None taken.

I guess that makes a fair amount of sense. And I'm sure I am, I just got curious why me so much as of late given our relative lack of prior conversation.

Perhaps I could phrase myself better than the examples you named, I can concede that. Though it's all part of that passion that is universal in this fandom, I mean day in and day out we got people panning the Trio and those that still sympathize or defend them, for instance, or the constant warring over which ships are bad and which ones aren't, it gets thick around here sometimes. But I try to be more tame, because I know from my experiences last year that getting aggressive with your views will gain you absolutely nothing. Though the atmosphere was already pretty vitriolic last Fall and I ended up being one of those to handle it the worst among them, and that was almost entirely my own fault. I try to be the better man ever since that experience, and I have tried very hard to move past all of that.

Well, the things I often tackle are things I feel are important to address and keep at the forefront since I tend to focus on what a majority of people have expressed concern or dismay about aside from myself, and wish to highlight as important points to acknowledge later in deciding wherever this series is bound to go next. I got no idea what's next for Total Drama, but I know there's plenty of discontent over how certain things have been handled, and I guess I'm one of the most passionate about the most frequently reoccurring issues talked about in this show. And you're right. I'm negative in part because of them and haven't felt all that positive about things this year. No denying it.

Force of habit, can't makes promises but I can at least try to tone it down. I'm a perfectly reasonable guy and I mean absolutely no malice towards anyone. I can be harsh yes, but I can work on that. But I am by law very straightfoward and honest about my views and prefer not to sugarcoat. It's just how I operate. Best I can promise is do is tone it down maybe, I could probably stand to be a bit less biting.

P.S., what I said about Dave, I've heard lots of bad things about Dave, so. And I will see TDPI eventually, but I simply am not up for it right now.
