> Being consistent is WAY less interesting than being yourself. And if you’re not interesting? Good luck with your Big Consistency Project.

This is why I call most things I do around here experiments. I write heated posts on a topic, calm down for a bit and then try the opposite, just to see the other’s guy point of view. If you get too hung up on consistency, you can easily find yourself itching for a fight on a topic for which you have no real vested interest.
