I very intentionally had qualifiers a-many in my comment to try and make it apparent that I wasn’t “judging” Alicorn. “I cannot imagine” is perhaps the wrong phrase. “I find it hard to imagine” would be better, I think.
Perhaps I’m crazy, but I don’t think pointing out the disadvantages of the way someone thinks/feels is or should be objectionable.
If someone differs from me in what kind of vegetables taste good, or if they like dry humor, or whatever, I’m not going to try and tell them they may want to rethink their position. There’s no salient disadvantages to those sort of things.
If Alicorn had said, “I really prefer human contact and I just get a little uncomfortable without it after 5 hours” I wouldn’t have even brought it up.
If someone has a trait that does have particular disadvantages, I just don’t see how discussing it with them is objectionable.
Perhaps the person to say whether it’s objectionable would be Alicorn. :)
