In my view, 10th planet advocates tolerance, respect, and open-mindedness toward all viewpoints and opinions from people of all backgrounds. While Eddie's viewpoints may differ from yours, I'm grateful to have the opportunity to have a voice on a forum where he would defend your right to disagree with him. I personally align with this spirit. I may agree with some things he says, I may not. I take what I find useful, discard what I don't. Eddie's view on conspiracys obviously has little to do with his jiu jitsu but even still, I respect his right to have a different view on many different topics. The reason why I want to align myself with him in the long run is, in many ways, a reflection of the type of human being I want to become; not because him and I can agree on the temperature that it takes to melt a beam of steel.
