It is not any kind of moral battle. It is simply this: you ascribe things to me that are not me, of me, by me, or any part of me. You fill in the blanks you don't know or understand about me with things you think you know about me, and they are all necessarily tinted negatively.

If you want to know the real me ... I'm here. Get to know me. Ask questions. Learn something about me. You might find you learn more than you thought possible in the process.
