I would welcome factual criticisms of my posts instead of just attacking the "tone" you read in them.

Right, the posts could be softened up, but isn't it funny that you don't direct the same criticism to the ones who called a certain point of view insane? How confrontational is that?

Characterizing helpful criticism as "attacking" is also not good.

I'm limited in my scope, I'm not going to follow links and criticize every single post. I happened to be reading yours, and thought that I might be able to help you with tone... others are probably better at dealing with actual content. If you would prefer me to not try to help you, let me know and I'll focus my efforts elsewhere.

Edit - please disregard this post
