Sir
I appreciate the fact that you're even taking the time to read my words and consider them, even if you never change your mind.
We're all of us made unique from each other and that means that sometimes, we human beings aren't going to agree about something. It's very rare that I come across a person with your viewpoint that's this civil with me, so...
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I actually understand Pride and what it does, and I've had to swallow my own from time to time. I never liked it, and I'm sure it's hard for other people, too.
Talking to me like this makes me respect you, and your point of view, even if my own never changes. Thank you for that.
