If I wanted to disclose my identity, I'd be posting with my real name. Since I'm not, anything posted with this screenname is to be treated as a personal view that is given to the public for educational purposes only - and it does not represent the views of my profession, my employer, my family, my extended family, anyone that I've met on the street, family pets, inanimate objects within view of my computer, etc. (and yes, insulting other people's ideas and chosen way of life is educational - if the direct subject of the insult doesn't learn it, onlookers stand a very good chance of figuring out that they should find some other way to think, act or believe so that they won't wind up as preposterous as the individual who was originally insulted)
