It is not important for me to welcome you, and it is not necessary for you to welcome me, let us agree on what will happen.. I am here to write and you are here to read, you do not have to like what I am going to say, and I do not have to crack my head with your tolerance, so let us avoid pleasantries. I am a bigoted old man of the kind that no one likes, and you are a bunch of curious young men of the kind that I don't like, so we have moved away from the obnoxious formalities that men insist on using among themselves.
