To be clear, I stand by both of those opinions.
I understand what you are saying about 1) but I'm not entirely convinced the direction the studies point in can't be applied to CDers.

I'm surprised and didn't understand the intensity on item 2). I would have thought we are in a similar boat and share common challenges. GGs may look at you and say eww. Apparently the TS community wants to look at CDers and say ew. And so the ball rolls along with various groups looking at other groups and rejecting them.

A big point I'm asking is this really the right venue to tell CDers they don't have their thinking right?
