That's the problem with anecdotes right there. There is no reliability and no representation of both sides. Anecdotes only report the side of the person with axe to grind, however justified they are in said axe grinding. Someone who has had good experiences going to authority figures are less likely to express this, because they is no axe to grind.
I also see you've read my posts without context. Earlier, there was a user accusing me of writing the most damaging post she's seen in 15 years on this forum. Another tacitly called me a creep. They used rhetoric far more incendiary than you, so I've had to respond to separate points from the OP.
