>Forgive me if I once again misinterpret, but it seems that you possess a certain mental fortitude which innoculates you against any such attempts.
Dialectic ability is not necessarily evidence of mental fortitude, and neither are absolute evidence of broad social skills. The risk to myself is that, if I apply an unusual amount of mental energy to a matter and am frustrated in my efforts, especially by something I don't understand, the energy doesn't always just dissipate -- the increased alertness can then turn toward another object or even in on myself in ways that might not be productive, possibly depending on other circumstances that might introduce other stressors in my life beyond what results from participating in this forum.
Your querry makes me wonder, though, if the administrator harbors a belief that I might be less susceptible to injury than some others might be.

Perhaps the test you propose would best be administered by someone in the employ of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, who might have a deeper interest in discerning whether tolerance for the statements comprised a political position but who is not as interested in providing support for certain people whose views might not be the most popular in this forum, and who might be more directly effected by claims that their life's work is "hypocritical" or "a joke".
