It is a wonder the sheer number of people who disagree with you here. I
can't begin to tell you just how much I support you.

I mean, you are someone *willing to die* for your beliefs.

Who else around here has that level of deadication? Let's see some
(virtual) hands. Anyone else here willing to put their life on the
line? I thought not.

We should be encouraging, not discouraging this. The sheer level of
bravery and courageousness you possess is well beyond my comprehension;
I can just imagine how your epitath will read.

If I was passing you right now, I'd salute you.
