We are all a culmination of our experience both first hand and taught. no one here is expempt from that, least of all me. There are levels of badass I cannot even begin to compare with that I have seen first hand and been taught through those experiences.
If nothing else, I am forever a student of those who have information and knowledge to pass on, I will (and have) traveled far and wide for training from those who I believe I can learn from.
This is the exact impression those who meet me have and its the most valid point here, because it genuinely gave me pause to read that people took away something negative from my posts.
