Complete straw-man argument. I never once told you to shut up.

My issue is with the content of your opinion, not with the fact that you expressed it. I see 'it's personal' as an excellent, virtually impregnable defense of your position, but one that works through mere a priori refusal to admit that any critic could possibly have an opinion that matters.

Indeed, I can't see how you have a valid objection to Zeke's labeling of you as 'unanalytical,' in as much as you've told us your opinion is rooted in emotional trauma, not analysis.

Be assured you are completely welcome to express your personal opinion all you want. I'll even offer some empathy regarding your response to the affecting events you mention. But I resent the the implication that contrary opinions, on a talking site, are ruled-out in advance. And even more I resent your question 'WTF are you doing here?' Like, who's telling who to shut up?
