I don't care how I am perceived.

Hmm, in my experience, sooner or later you will. And you're bound to leave this site behind in a flaming rage, maybe even already in a few weeks time. I've seen it happen a few times, and I think for every one of them, it's a shame.

I'm just hoping my post can somewhat enourage you to stick around. We do need to have clever, critical minds around, even if their presence is somewhat controversial.
