The feeling that I am jumping on nebu and the idea that I am advocating a straw vulcan is you using loaded words to make an extreme judement about my meaning and my motives. First of all, I am not trying to say a rational person has to be emotionless. The fact taht Emotions are important, doesn’t mean that anyone invoking some emotional response is unconditionally right. Supporting something “not because you agree with it” but because you felt some personal attachment is the most common of pyschological reflexes. I am not telling Nebu that he has to be emotionless, or that rationality segregates itself from emtions, but that the way he is using his emotions here is irrational. If you support something how is it something you do not agree with, and why are you supporting something you do not agree with?
when the sentence would work as well with “thought”, is rude as well.
Relevant to why you’re being downvoted:
Straw Vulcan
Feeling Rational
Jumping on someone for using “felt”, when the sentence would work as well with “thought”, is rude as well.

Changing felt for thought is sneaking in connotations
