I think you're very smart and I don't doubt you sincerely believe the things you say. I think you just need to be a little more open-minded, and to try to accept the fact that like everyone else (including me) you don't have everything all figured out all the time, which is how you sometimes come across.
What are some examples, or what do you mean, about being more open-minded?

A decent deal of what I think gets me labeled as close-minded is a misreading of what I said. Granted, I am a mortal, and can present things ambiguously by accident. Regardless, I'd like some clarification on what you mean.
