Do you really want to use emotional blackmail to get only the responses you want?

If not, stop using manipulation to control our reactions to what you post.

No one said you are not welcome.

But people respond the way they respond to things you write. If the responses are an expression of honest feelings, no one who actually was interested in dialog would try to shut them up.
