Thanks, Fiona, on many different levels.

I have read both those blogs, and they are very honest and refreshing. So many people are guarded and closed, even on the internet, where we should feel free to be what we are.

This thing about trolls...you know, they are out there. There are people who deliberately go onto a thread to upset and appal, and to get the reaction that these entail, but I have noticed in recent years that the term is thrown around, often at people who are little more than a dissenting voice. The gun nut I referred to accused me of being a troll, and I am nothing of the sort. In fact, @monchhichi23 above is the person that I was talking to when I incurred this man's wrath, and you can see that I did not upset her at all.

The term "troll" is often used in attempt to develop an unfair narrative.

I am going to carry on here, but I am going to post about stuff that I want to talk about, and if others want to join in, then great. If they don't, well, there's not very much I can do about it. I have been trying to post stuff to appeal to a larger audience, but they have generally failed, and left me feeling like a tuppeny whore. I have been trying to be something I am not. More fool me!

I think we may have taken different paths here, but we seem to have ended in the same place - we are what we are, and would rather fail at being that, then fail at trying to fit in.

Oh, all this blockchain stuff is dutch to me. I probably should try and understand it more, but it leaves me cold. I am not here to learn about this. And yes, I want to avoid Steemit politics, but get involved in Politics on Steemit. I have actually jumped in to a conversation about immigration in the UK, and it absolutely has the propensity to go south, and my opponent here has a huge rep score, so I am playing with fire. But, you know, that's who I am and what I do, and after a month here of trying to be something else, I am going to true to myself and deal with whatever consequences come my way. And I am totally happy with that.
