I feel as I get taken seriously by all the people who I would care whether or not they take me seriously. I'm fine with this.
I also realize that I can take debates way too far and that I can be incredibly opinionated at times. This can often make me look bad when my opinions turn out to be wrong, but I think people are making a mistake if they dismiss me due to this. I think being wrong about stuff you were previously adament about is just a part of the journey of learning, and that you shouldn't judge people based upon the percentage of times they were correct or incorrect(most of which is selectively remembered from a few main debates you had with the person anyway); Rather you should judge a person based upon the manner in which they conduct their "journey of learning." And when I look back at mine and how I've increased my knowledge of certain subjects over the years, I'm generally satisfied.
edited to add: I really agree with this part of kbfc's post:

I'm aware that I care about debating fine points moreso than most posters. I'm also aware that this makes me a prime target for mocking(Asseni was hilarious imo). And I'm fine with this.

this. My trolls are usually very large ones that spawn long threads, but they don't occur all that often at all.
