I think it is a way to belittle your comments. "she needs a hug, is not feeling well so don't mind her comments" or something like that.

I for one always appreciate your contributions Ophie because they force (sometimes) us to look at things differently, and that sometimes leads to insight about our own perspectives, that we don't always see things objectively.

Countering popular opinion, or countering "politeness" in the search for truth is a good thing, but not everyone realizes this during our discussions. They first see and react to the blunt objection, the ventured proposal that they/we could be wrong.
