> The fact that I might be in the minority among people who post here does not diminish me as a person, or a community member, nor does it abrogate my responsibility to reflect my perspective.
The way in which you contribute to a community can in fact make you a more or less valuable member. And reflection is generally to be encouraged, but doesn't necessarily have to take place, and isn't necessarily appropriate, here.
> I get hurt here. I feel it is abusive of you to presume to explain my motivation rather than asking and trying to understand my explanation of my motive...
Please, however you feel, don't accuse others of being abusive.
> I don't understand how one can maintain that I should discuss my feelings, yet adamantly discount my reflection of my feelings.
Again, discussion of feelings is generally to be encouraged, but doesn't necessarily have to take place, and isn't necessarily appropriate, here.
