For the community as a whole, giving us some choice in how we give emotion to all of you would help make people less resentful. People do not like feeling powerless.

Particularly things like when those constructs of our loved ones were draining our life force. No matter how unbiased and reasonable one tries to be, it's quite difficult not to take something like that rather personally.
