Just for the record, I would never have known you experienced difficulty in writing if you hadn't just said so, especially from your posts in this thread. They've been very clear and articulate.

And sometimes I can't formulate my disagreement no matter *how* long I let my attention rest on the topic. More often, even if I've identified the reasons for my disagreement, I can't figure out how to express it clearly in words; it just doesn't seem to want to lay itself out in a straight line.
