Actually, I am rather doing this on purpose; we've all heard about how women
like to use cautious or submissive phrases such as, "well, in my
opinion...", "if you ask me...", "I should say...", "don't get me wrong,
but...", "if I may say so...", and I am consciously trying not to fall into
that trap. One has to start somewhere! Also, my scientific education (along
with my four older brothers!) has taught me (by the negative example of most
professors) to state my opinions clearly, no hemming and hawing, and then
stand by them. But I'm not really half as militant as I sound; I just
believe in making a good argument, sometimes even when I do not really
support a point, but still think it needs to be raised for the discussion's
sake. I wish there were a nicer way of saying devil's advocate...

But candlelight is so much more romantic than our sometimes blinding
flare-ups! Also, it gives warmth, not only light. And it can burn if you're
not cautious, even in bright daylight.

Nope, just being aware of:

Den eyn syn oevertuygen is den annern syn indoktrinaatschoon.
Den eyn syn bewysen is den annern syn propaganda.
Den eyn sien pynoet is den annern syn vule tomaat (~ handgranaat).

"Rabula diaboli"? (slides off the tongue)

"Counter-angelic propagandist"?
