In reply to:
You appear most comfortable marching in step with those who agree with you.
That definately gave me a big smile - the idea of me being a conformist in any sense of the word is... moderately amusing. I have Pastor Martin Niemoeller's "They first came for the communists" posted in my office - hardly the mark of a man marching in lock-step. I post here because I agree with popular opinion here, not the other way around. What I
don't do is intentionally take a diameterically opposed position in order to draw attention to myself. I'll also neither blindly follow popular opinion, nor intentionally buck it (say by extolling unbelievable virtues in, perhaps, tube amplification) in order to seem exotic and part of an elite (l33t?) group.
I have the distinct feeling some day you'll argue
black is white and be killed at a zebra crossing (to borrow from the late Douglas Adams).
