You probably do not intend it, but your assertions on how your 
hyoptheses have support do not sit well with many. It's not the 
hypotheses themselves, it's both your insistence that they have textual 
support - where most view at bestest a tiny possibility that they aren't 
outright excluded, i.e., they may be possible readings, but not 
certainly the 'supported' ones - and your occasional dropping of wild 
interpretations as if they were obvious and universally accepted. Then 
you don't really like it when you're called on that. That's what comes 
across - at best - as sanctimonius.
