You can read yourself all the threads and decide
for yourself, if they
were
being written to you, would you find them offensive?
No.
It is always *our* choice how to interpret and feel about things we read
and hear and whether to make the effort to understand rather than just
react.
All Jay said is that his setup, collective experience etc. is perhaps more
suited to this sort of thing than yours but he welcomes you and anyone who
wants to add to the resources available to this community.
What does offend me is your Straw Man arguments and name calling; Jay a
"bully" ?

Description of Straw Man
The Straw Man fallacy is committed when a person simply ignores a person's
actual position and substitutes a distorted, exaggerated or misrepresented
version of that position.
