People who disagree with me, or have criticism of my work, are completely valid! We don't learn and grow if we're not willing to entertain the thoughts and feelings of those who disagree with us. The difference is only in the method of critique and the validity that it implies.
As for the numerical matter, I'm aware of that but appreciate the warning nonetheless! As an 80's baby who's seen plenty of usernames with a date of birth in them however, I'm not the sort to immediately castigate someone like that until I can be certain it's anything more than innocent coincidence. I try not to assume malice if I can help it! Something that, admittedly, is growing harder in this day and age.

I'd love to add that I'm not this and that, just to put the issue to bed, but itch will literally block me from responding to this if it detects those words. So lets just say I'm not subscribed to any hate-fueled ideas.
I'm obviously an annoying stubborn jackass, but I'm all for equality.
