What I saw as wrong in my post, was not that I objected against rules, but that I mixed it with other things which bother me. Those other things did not belong here, in this thread. They gave more weight to my ideas about rules, putting it all on Rosada's shoulders.
Rules as such are not such a big problem, one can always ignore them. But they have an effect on people's feeling of freedom to express themselves in their own way.
I am not saying that Rosada is the cause, maybe things were simply going in that direction, and it became more clear in this thread than elsewere. Here they were actually named, do this, do not that. In general, it is as if absurdity has left, the nonsensical attempts to express something, which have the possibility to hit on something never thought of. I am not expecting it of anyone, it is just as if it is not present anymore. The people who used to do it, are behaving or silent.
This does not at all imply that it is better, or that anything else is less. I am only missing it.
Of course there are always rules, but they have to do with exchange and such things. Not analyzing someone's character in a forum, for example. Not hurting, no personal attacks, things like that. Rules of the heart. Everybody with some feeling knows them without having to be told.
About Void's remarks: I tried several times to give an alternative viewpoint, but it was ignored. After hearing how good or bad the future looks, nobody listens to the one who has objections, who says it is not certain. Not the querent and not the one who told him/her. Once said, it is simple and strong. People in distress love being told what to do or expect, especially as a solid fact.
With 'this is it' I meant only, that the answer should be read as it is given. Try to understand it, without making detours along constructions. Of course they can add a lot of insight, but someone who is exploring for the first time what the Yi actually can be, will be led away from real understanding. It makes it not necessary. A structure is like a road map, which can be useful. But if you follow the lines on the map, driving without looking up from the pavement, never ever seeing the landscape, then you will not get to know this country. In the answer, one can use one's own roadmaps, but I don't think it is good to send the querent on his way with a map instead of showing the landscape.
Once you have some idea of what the Yi can be, then every structure is fine of course.
And "this is it/this is what it means always" is of course an abomination. A hundred times worse than maps.
