5. Of course you're welcome here. There are people whose job it is to tell you if you're not.

If someone has unfairly inaccurately described your views, then set them straight. No one gets to tell you what your views are, including me.

Stating a contrary opinion isn't demeaning and insulting, it's respect. I find that withholding a contrary opinion is usually patronizing.

You said in another post that "you were in a bad place". I hope you resolve the problem, but if it's helpful to discuss it with your fellow guys, I encourage it.

I recommended your post because it gave me the opportunity to say this.
