It is bold-faced frontal assault against reason.No, the point is how it's said, not whether it's perception or feeling. It needs to be made personal. As in saying "I didn't like that" as opposed to "that was stupid" Or "that doesn't feel sincere to me" not "That's pretentious"

It wasn't that, it was that by saying it when you did you were implying that the person sending them or typing them to you was being insincere or pretentious. If you had said in another post that those hugs get on your nerves, they seem phony that would have been okay. I'm not saying I don't think it's not piccayune at times, but just trying to point out the difference.
