Sorry for any distressed caused, that's usually the opposite of my goal, but I can certainly see that I may have contributed unnecessarily to that here as well.
I guess my confusion stemmed from you eventually saying it's just an emotional position, while also putting up an intellectual argument , and it only became apparent (to me) 2/3 of way through our discussion that the argument you were advancing was not in support of your original emotional position that I challenged.
