Never said you were, but that doesnt mean the cutoff point has to be all the way "out there" for conservative and problematic in the long run.

Besides, what do you even know about "me" given you say you used to "be like me"? You know, well perhaps not nothing but not much. And i too have met people with lots of different oppinions, yet i didnt leap towards the right, quite the opposite in fact. So... if you "used to be similar to me", well then you're close to falling into the deep end.

Here is some free advice: careful with what you assume you know about someone you never met before.
