Of course you do, and I certainly didn't mean to imply that you didn't. Your post felt to me like you were trying to shame me for my reaction -- even though I can see now that's not what you meant. I was probably just being touchy and defensive.
I did notice that you agreed. :)
As for the PS... In general I'd say no, but I'm not sure if I'm being hypocritical to say so. I don't feel like I was being particularly negative, although the end of my reaction was *bleah*. (I actually loved the Irish video, up to and including the first guy offering to hold the other guys hand. And even the first couple or two after. It was just when it was the whole room, many of whom had just been smirking at the gay kid in the hall, joined in that I rolled my eyes and felt like I'd been sapped.) So if you really are saying that *I* (among others) need to dial down my negativity, then I do have a problem with it. Does that make sense?
