Well, just to throw my exalted thots in(least they exalted to ME!!!).
Solstice, I think you perplexed.
But see, I think what it is, is that your pespective is diff than others here.
You been here awhile, but no posting. So you kinda 'know' people and the place by observation.
This place is not new to you, the people are not new to you.
But see, for the rest of us, YOU ARE NEW. Cuz mebbe you could see us, but we couldn't see you.
So to people here, it appears that this 'person', just kinda drops in here and seems to know it all.
Its kinda freaky.
NOT to say thats what it is! But see, I am thinking that that is the 'feeling' people get because of the circumstances.
Don't mean they are wrong, don't mean you are wrong.
Just the way it is.
See, its like the dog park....
There's 'rules' that dogs are supposed to adhere to.
So eg, when they arrrive at the park, there's The Approach, The Initial Assessment, The circling Sniff, then hopefully, signs of interest in play.
So in your case Soltice, your kinda like the dog that comes flying into the park all exited saying 'lets GO!!!'. Which gets the other dogs upset, and can cause agression!!! Whagh!!!
So, I hope I not making you feel bad, cuz you got good ideas.
But ya, I kinda been feeling a bit that way myself, kinda overwhelmed. Cuz I not even had a chance to sniff you yet!!! ROFL!!!
So, I only posted this cuz you seemed a little perplexed.
And this IMHO may be part of the reason your getting what you get from people.
Like I say, not right or wrongs here,just people being people, or dogs being dogs lol!
My thots.
