Oh no! I don't want to sound mean at all! I suspect that clarity understands their non-mainstream position. And I don't mean it as a bad thing at all; just as a point of declaration. (I tend to find value in non-mainstream myself)
I suppose that its entirely unclear that I value non-mainstream over mainstream unless you know the internal workings of my head. And therefore that non-mainstream is a compliment not an insult - is entirely unclear.
I am going to have to hope that Clarity reads all the posts and makes a reasonably charitable judgement about my comments...
Maybe this is just the typical mind fallacy, but if I said I like something and someone else says "Oh no!" instead of "Thank you", I wouldn't feel very good.
