Probably not wise to categorically tell someone the reasons behind their feelings when you're underinformed, and probably not kind to ruminate on the subject when you can expect it to be unpleasant.
I have personally felt the same feelings and I think I have pinned down the reason. I welcome alternative theories, in the spirit of rational debate rather than polite silence.
That you may have discovered the reason that you felt this way does not mean that you have discovered the reason another specific person felt a similar way. In fact, they may not even be unaware of the causes of their feelings.
Sure. That's why I said: "I welcome alternative theories" (including theories about there being multiple different reasons which may apply to different extents to different people). Do you have one?
Missed the point. Do you understand that you shouldn't have been confident you knew why cousin_it felt a particular way? Beyond that, personally I'm not all that interested in theorizing about the reasons, but if you really want to know you could just ask.
Sorry I wasn't implying very strong confidence. I would give a probability of, say, 65% that my reason is the principal cause of the feelings of Cousin_it
