I think it is acceptable for anyone to talk about their feelings here. You criticizing me for allegedly criticizing someone else (although I would say I was simply saying what I felt) is in fact exactly the same thing. It is hypocrisy to post criticism of one post while claiming that criticism is wrong. It is not wrong here to post what you think.

I am of the belief that outside of name calling or other deliberate unkindness, it is acceptable to tell people what their posts bring up for you. If that is seen as critical, so be it. But I am not here to be controlled by what you or anyone else personally mint to be acceptable here, or what you or anyone else defines as criticism. Your middle ground is not my middle ground. I will decide what I post, and you can decide what you post.

These conversations are always boring, and rather pointless. I'd much rather be engaged in discussions about actual issues rather than arguing over what people should post.
