Ok, I'm just going to step out and let others argue this. There are members on here that have got a better understanding and vocabulary than I do, especially on this subject, and I don't want to speak for people.

I hope you understand that I was not sweeping any singular individual experience under the rug by the statements I made. I am very sure that if my statements did such those involved in the conversations would have come forward and voiced their disagreements with what I said as well as the reason for their disagreements.
If the people agree or disagree with my statements, that remains to be seen. They are more than welcome to voice either of such sentiments as they choose.
