I appreciate the extra effort; being of an agnostic nature (in
   more of a "The more I learn, the more I realize, I know even
   less than I thought I did!" manner, rather than a strictly
   "religious categorization" - another nuance :P ) - I find that I
   have define what I'm saying quite often; I work hard to
   understand and be understood; for me, it is less important to be
   "right" than it is to get a "I may/may not agree, but I
   understand" from people. And so, I use a lot of words! I've been
   on a quest to understand "everything" and be in a position to be
   able to resolve misunderstandings of any nature.* I don't like
   conflict; especially when parties are talking past each other,
   rather than in a cooperative fashion in an attempt to gain
   mutual understanding - even if the final result is disagreement.
