About Me

My last name is Norton. At least that's what I'm using on here.
DISCLAIMER:
I'm perfectly happy to accept almost any add request from a human (as opposed to a spambot), and the more we disagree the better! I love to learn from intelligent people with different ideas about the universe.
However, I'd like it to be known that I am a trouble maker. If I disagree with you, I will say so. I almost never insult anyone first, but I won't take any abuse nor tolerate the abuse of others; not because I'm bothered by the opinions of people I don't know, but because toleration of rudeness offends my sense of right and wrong.
On the other hand, if I see someone claiming to know things when it's apparent that they don't, I'll point it out. I now have a decent amount of people who have blocked be after inviting me to their blog or sending me a friend request. This warning is a result of those people. If you can tolerate disagreement politely, then I'm sure we'll have a lot to learn from each other.
If that's acceptable to you, then welcome! If not, then it's best to boot me now with no hard feelings than later with them.
