I struggle to get through Yvain's posts; it's like trying to sit through a social psychology lecture delivered by Fluttershy. All ability to focus is blotted out by eeee I want to hug the author

I was concerned about this comment right up until the end, at which point I discovered that I had really enjoyed it intensely the whole time.

I am still interested in some good examples of Yvain's posts which invoked this reaction from you, I have been reading somewhat more of his writing recently and though I often agree with his points, I don't recall feeling such explicit urges.

PMed you because of reasons

Could you please provide some good examples which trigger this effect? I haven't read more than ten or so of Yvain's blog posts so my sample size might explain why I haven't observed it yet.
