Actually, that was Deputy 10derHeart who answered first.In response to your question, though, the answer is no. Saying "I feel attacked" implies that there was an attacker, which violates the civility guidelines. That's a topic which has come up before regarding "I Statements."
"I Statements" can be problematic. They're a lot more difficult than they seem at first. Often, I have to check with the other deputies to find out if something is a valid I statement, or if it needs work. Don't worry if it takes a bit of practice -- and sometimes thinking about it from five different angles.
I hope that helps.
