I really should know better by now

I don't know why I keep doing it. I relax, I think I'm among friends, I tentatively bring out an idea that's close to my heart and I watch someone jumping up and down on the tiny shining thing because they choose to believe I've said something quite different. I don't think "Wouldn't it be nice if we could change our attitudes to the way we think about work and creativity" is quite the same as "Creative people should be let off work and everyone else should support them"; but I daresay I read old books of logic. Anyway, I don't suppose it would have cost me so much sleep if I wasn't still raw over the other thing, but as it is I don't even have the energy to be offended over what kind of person they obviously think I am.

Sorry for wasting everyone's time.

You may have meant to say "Wouldn't it be nice if we could change our attitudes to the way we think about work and creativity", but what you actually said at the start was about people who "think the world owes them a living", and that's what got discussed mainly. It's a different topic. Sorry, people discuss what they see and not what might have been written in another universe.

And discussing and disagreeing with an idea is not an attack on you...
