[quote=Anonymous]I think that the critical reaction is analytical rather than emotional and that the issue isn't perceived slights but bad advice/misinformation.

That said, I also think that there's been a lot of cross-talk on three different simultaneous threads and people following only this one might well wonder where certain comments/reactions are coming from (when the answer probably is that the people posting such comments probably forgot what got said where).  The "why do you hate PG kid"s comment on this thread probably contributed to that, because, looking back, it is kind of a non-sequitor in the context of this thread (but resonates with what's going on in the other threads and has gone on in previous threads on this topic.)  Certainly did in my case.

All that said, I agree with the request to disagree without being disagreeable.  Which would include not assuming that others are paranoid or that they're jumping all over you for things you didn't say.  More generosity of interpretation on both sides (e.g. if an intelligent and well-meaning person made this statement, how would I engage with them? vs. "ugh, her again!") couldn't hurt.
