"the tone of your response makes me feel like i'm being condescended to" is me expressing an emotion i experienced due to something you said
"i feel that <an opinion>" is a different use of the word (nearly synonymous with "think")
unless you're a non-native english speaker, i'm almost 100% positive that you know the difference and are being intentionally obtuse
- vorpalhex 8y agoI've actually had this argument with someone who was attempting to force the use of a framework because "I just feel it's easier." As a good faith speaker, I agree with you. A native speaker should be self aware enough to not confuse an unsupported opinion with a "feeling", nor should we dismiss feelings. However, frequently, feelings are used as a poor substitute for rationality. Therefore I reject the argument that feelings can't be debated or argued.
