Your excellent post, now makes my detailed response unnecessary. 
As with many bulletin boards, there is usually a small group who tries to dominate and ram their agenda down other people's throats.
Some are very adept at doing it, mostly with a sugary smile and disingenuous flattery.
I say to them, back off and accept those who are offering their own opinion.....and/or constructive criticism.

Good post.
In other words, be accepting of all people who are their authentic selves.
None of us are teenagers in high school anymore.......very weird to see adults behaving or posting like teenagers when it's 55+ community .
Normally that age group has hopefully achieved some worldly mature views and shed the "mask" of phoniness....which they might have had to use when young..........those who have lived and existed in various regions of our country know diversity and also know that everyone is entitled to their own "authentic" opinion..........it's what makes the world go round. If we were all alike, it would be quite boring.
Sometimes posters are just "adding" to another's "ideas" and "opinions" by sharing what they know or have experienced from first hand life in general.......it's their reality but it might not be someone elses reality.
However, it doesn't mean that it is wrong or bad.
