HKestenholz,
With all due respect and genuine appreciation for the time and expertise you have given on this and other forums, I believe that you've missed the essential message (and gift) of the feedback given to your comments in this thread.
The ideal - and the reasons that make it so - which you are advocating are wonderful and certainly merit thorough consideration.
However, the primary theme of the feedback to your posts is not addressing the validity of the ideal you are advocating. It has more to do with the WAY in which you are referencing the ideal.
In other words, it's not the facts you are sharing that are rubbing people the wrong way. It's the distinctly arrogant, dismissive and defensive way that you make your point that is at issue.
Again, please do not misunderstand me. I am VERY grateful (as are others, no doubt) for your time and expertise, but the beauty and merit of sharing your time and expertise has been overshadowed by the ugliness of your relatively insulting comments.
I hope the time I have taken to offer you a new perspective on your communication style is received in a way that benefits you and those you love.
Again, thank you and happy new year.
