Its somewhat of an assumed risk; hate me or love me at least you will know me. It's actually quite odd really; a mixed bag. I've gotten vote ups from a few with 70 plus rep along with positive comments and a few votes down from those with rep in the 50's.

I think that it will really come down to whether or not the reader has the aptitude to take it for what it is; a well written, yet comical reach out and introduction or whether they will feel oddly threatened and angered by bits of data in cyberspace.

I can see it as such, if you are a whale with a good heart, that can see past yourself, is interested in the meanderings of us lesser creatures then you will take it at face value and either ignore it, comment on it or reach out to me about it; end result being a mature exchange of ideas and and an introduction.

If they are of the type to get offended, then likely they have not had very much control in their lives and take shit way to seriously. Instead of being benevolent they will get vengeful.

I had one such dick go around and just random flag my comments unrelated to the issue above; comments that the actual OP's enjoyed and we were actively having a conversation about. It was just a way for someone whom I would beat the shit out of in real life to act out their fantasy power in the cyber world. Congrats Mr. Dick.. I'm crushed.. lol..

Failure for me is not really an option.. I seem to collect as many downs as ups and the followers goes up, rep loss can be the cost of doing business I suppose. .build it, do something a bit outrageous, shed some, gain followers, build it, shed some, etc.. not everyone is going to like what I'm selling and I'm ok with that.. I wish them well regardless..

Thank you for the heads up though, I appreciate the dialogue
