So, you don't see anything wrong with this opening statement:

This doesn't seem harsh, judgmental, or unfairly negative to you?

When posed to an audience composed of frequent travelers it doesn't seem like it might be bordering on personal accusation?

Thankfully OP has followed up in this thread to apologize for coming on too strongly. S/He has presented a more nuanced view of the situation and placed it in context of personal struggle. I thank superangrypenguin for doing this instead of taking offense at people taking offense.
