I must say, as much as I loved reading what you had to convey, I couldnt help but lose interest after a while. It’s as if you had a terrific grasp on the subject matter, but you didn’t remember to include your readers. Maybe you should think of this from more than 1 position. Or perhaps you shouldn’t generalise so very much. It’s better if you think of what other people may have to express rather than just going for a gut reaction on the topic. Think about modifying your own thought process and giving others who might browse this the benefit of the doubt.

I am not going to lie, you have lost me here. I realize that you meant well and you definitely know what youre talking about, but I cannot say that I get where youre coming from. In case you want people to comprehend your points, you ought to take into consideration the other side of the argument, too. Youve got a lot of know-how, Ill give you that. But, quite frankly, you turned me off with your tone.
