I've certainly gone Frog-in-a-Blender on this same subject -- another aspect of FiaB is that very often, LoA naysayers here in these forums seem to have very little interest in generously listening to what "devotees" have to say about their beliefs or usages, but rather seem to be committed to ridiculing or being right, and it's easy to get all reactive when you genuinely want to share your feelings and thoughts but are met with what seems like a deliberate Wall of No Engagement. Especially when it's in a forum on the subject being ridiculed or attacked.
I'm not saying that's you, Tim, but whether you are or not, the response you get here may be a fallout from that.
My experience is that getting reactive in the conversation is a downward spiral, but sometimes it's an avenue through which people can learn to be more flexible and effective -- in other words, it's a good thing.
