Regarding the downvotes; I suspect it was the holier-than-thou tone delivering a blinkered refusal to accept someone else's reported experience, all prefaced by a cheap sneer.

I generally find that this forum has a higher than usual tolerance for unconventional perspectives, but takes a very dim view of poor manners. Unlike other places that seem to reward and even celebrate bad behaviour and low standards of discussion. This is a major reason I contribute here and basically nowhere else.
