Sure, why not.
I'm a pretty opinionated person, and I tend to view discussion and debate as a sort of proving grounds for opinions and values. As such, I get pretty heated in trying to make sure I've backed the correct horse. That pretty much means I'm a dick to talk with about conflicting points, and for that I'm sorry.
I rarely, if ever, mean any actual hostility. I grew up playing sports and as you can see from the Roast thread, I'm kind of a fan of smug shit-talking. It's just that, though - It's not meant to debase anyone and only exists "on the field" for me. If we run into each other in-game after a nasty argument or something I generally try to ignore what happened elsewhere.
So, uh. Sorry for the folks I've offended and pissed off. I don't really mean it.
