No. The “leap” to “feelings” came from the poster who tried to claim Rand’s positions was alright because he had “strong feelings” (as if too hell with his THOUGHTS) on the nominee to head the CIA. That person as much as called Rand a Snowflake - does things because THAT’S how he “feels”.
It is basterdization and abuse of the language to make judgements regarding facts and ideas as if based on “feelings” instead of what one is THINKING. To say “I feel” when what is meant is “I think” is wrong and begins to conflate the two, “feelings” and “thoughts” as synonymous, which they are not.
You took feelings out of context and ran with it. If opinion instead of feelings does not hurt your feelings, then please substitute for that.
