ok, i've not been here long, so i think i can count as a bit of an outsider, though i usually don't take that stance. you're right, it stinks when people put you in the place of judging their motivations all the time. i don't think anyone's disagreeing with that. but what i think they are trying to say is that the way you are stating your opinion, though you've said it's just an opinion, is coming across as attacking someone else. i don't know if you mean it that way, and if you do, i think it more appropriate that you do that in private, as you are then respecting their feelings as well as the friendly-feeling we're trying to keep on this board. if you don't, read over what you've written and try to make sure that it doesn't come across as an attack to a reasonable-minded person. yes, there are people who will take everything as an attack, and you can't cater to them, but re-read what you've written.

this isn't just directed at you, either. i've seen other people do it. this is the first time i've felt comfortable saying something, that's all.
