Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
I think there is at least one very good reason to write "I feel" or other mellowing qualifiers before a statement that have nothing to do with being afraid of criticism, namely to get people to engage with your overall point rather than quibbling about details.
Its the same reason I say stuff like "that's a good point" even when I think someone said something completely wrong and retarded. Telling them the truth doesn't lead to functional conversation outside a small subset of people on the spectrum (no it's not people here).
People are willing to let minor errors pass or let go of erroneous ideas if you let them do so. Boldly state everything all the time you'll get nowhere.
