I've never found you hard to deal with. I appreciate many things about your approach, how your mind works.
You rarely share a position on a topic. I noticed that very early after encountering you. Yet your topics are usually interesting, and better, you probe responses which if one is open to such a thing, invites examination into the foundations of the responses.
You have a unique method of posting, usually in comment sections of posts that are well past the 7 day expiration. I noticed you did this last night in your one post here. I still have yet to go to that today now that I'm logged in.
It's been interesting watching you interact with others. You have a presentation style where you can be oppositional to the other person, yet most who might be prone to flagging for such action don't seem to flag you for the most part. I applaud your communication skills in achieving such a result.
Adding on to my previous comment, its been interesting watching you interact with Joey. I'm not a fan of his, agreeing with the sentiment on Hive that he is creepy. I told him that myself a couple of years ago. Despite my feeling towards him, he does have critical thinking skills higher than many I encounter, although they seem heavily tainted by far right propaganda. Of interest to me in the dynamics between the two of you is how much he does idolize you. I've witnessed him copying your commenting on his own posts, which is really something unique you've been doing.
You definitely have very unique, interesting tendencies. While it's true I've encountered some very sharp minds at Steemit/Hive/Blurt, your method of dancing with others is one of the most conducive to open dialogue I've witnessed. One of the other great minds over there (who've I speculated might also be you in the past) was always more direct in a challenging way usually. While it was interesting watching others dance in ways that revealed the perceptions they have chained to themselves as they became defensive, often to the point of being offensive, I appreciate a more subtle approach such as yours. It invites reflection from those who would soon grow defensive if openly challenged in a rudely probing way.
Your comments on HIVE really "put some wind in my sails" so-to-speak.
You've always stuck me as super-smart and self-assured. You seemed to have found your audience, at least as far as I could tell, and I'm still surprised you noticed me, and even more surprised you've taken the time to let me know.
Thank you for your kind words. In my youth, when I was impetuous and angry, my self assurance was the cause of much misery for myself as I almost felt invulnerable.

It's interesting you feel this. You are one of the most intriguing people I've met in my online travels (and real life too). You have a graceful way of presenting conundrums and I feel lucky to have crossed paths with you.
I'm trying to be a person.
Be careful with this here. A very small part of me has wondered (I believe I've mentioned it before) if you are an AI program. Your unique ways coupled with your vast knowledge are definitely not the norm. I'm very good at reading people and you do a great job at either controlling your Wa, or you have one that is not like anything I've encountered, or you don't have one. :)

I'm overwhelmed once again by your generosity.

I'll try not to shatter the illusion too quickly.
