Thank you!  This actually really means a lot to me.  I really appreciate it when people reciprocate the respect in discussions and debates.  So to have you say this really means a lot to me.  I know people who talk down to me too, even now, because of my age, asserting that their years automatically make them correct.  While I do believe that wisdom comes with age due to experience and the way time changes us, it doesn't guarantee you're right in everything.  I was a very politically minded person from a young age and I've always been thoughtful as to how my faith applies to the world.  But few people outside my parents took the time to help shape and mold that and teach me how to use that way of thinking.  So I know how hard it is to be taken seriously at your age.  Especially when, whether you're right or wrong, nobody takes the time to explain things to you and their stances and why.  I'm really glad that I came across as respectful and treating you as an equal.  I definitely view you as equals and I wanted to show the same courtesy to you as I would a politician, college professor, or anyone else. 

Again, I really appreciate this!  It means a lot to have you say this, thank you.

Thank you, GreenMango.  I understand being nervous, but I appreciate this very much.
