Smoke, I'm not trying to judge your feelings, so if that's how you felt, sorry for misreading. So you know where my comment came from:This is quite unnecessary and omitting it would have made your point stronger.from revulsion to pity for the future,
Why is an honest statement of the personal emotion generated by the image any more unnecessary then to say an image of a basket full of puppies made me feel good all over? Did you also read that " bringing emotion (good or bad) to the viewer is what makes an image relevant"? Or, on critique " you must first put aside personal feelings on the subject". I neither judged the subject matter, nor did I presume to know the mood the photographer meant to portray, only to offer honest feedback for the photographer to compare to their vision.
A sentence before the quoted portion, you said: "I recently read something on critiques either of your own work, or others, is that you must first put aside personal feelings on the subject" (underlined emphasis added by me).
And then, you went on to include your personal emotions in the very next sentence. I found that to be very interesting; thus, my indication that removing that information would have made your point stronger.
