Yes, I can see that. And again I hope you don't feel personally attacked.

I do think many "need" a reason and will grasp on to the first one which comes along. And some go crazy from that since no reason satisfies. And some come to a resignation early there is no reason. And...

On we could go.

This type of interchange -- a forum -- can be difficult to sometimes get across meaning without being misunderstood.

Even in a chat you sometimes get that too, though perhaps that immediate interaction can help. But I suppose short of face-to-face interaction we may not always be able to be fully clear about some points, save for the chance to follow-up and clarify.
