Don't take it personal I think "That Guy" just likes a good debate, I
don't see him as a person that's full of himself, I just think he's
into debating issues which is and ok thing to do. It stimulates the
brain cells, And in my case I need all the brain cell stimulation I can
get.
That Guy has a pretty good moral compass and is passionate in his
beleifs and there ids nothing wrong with that.
