Hi Speck. I don't think there is any reason to "crucify" you for expressing your honest opinion. You may have already learned that there is a very large diversity of members here thus, many opinons and situations.
IMHO part of the problem is that many do not know how to adequately express their feelings. Also, no one can know exactly how somone else feels as feelings are known only to the person feeling them. Also, words, terms, defintions, etc. are some what limited and can easily be misunderstood.
I have been a CD for over 60 years and really have no idea how it would feel to be a GW; I can only imagine, based upon many years of observation, much reading, etc. Personally, I try my best to emulate what I think a lady would do (and not all women are "ladies").
