Those who know me know that I usually am a man of strong opinions. Generally, I speak my mind, often bluntly and without thinking. This has, at times caused me grief.

I really don't like to be wrong. If I think I'm wrong, I'll usually argue and try to figure out a way to turn it into a victory. Not this time. I wrote an entry the other day, trying to expose flaws in a drug study.

I didn't bloody think! I didn't think about what sort of effect my words could have. I didn't bloody think that for once, I was wrong. Maybe someone else was right this time, even though I thought it was stupid.

Sometimes I hate myself. I have since taken down that entry and marked it as private. I am ashamed, and once again apologize to anyone that I hurt with my words.
