I was genuine when I said your post was great. Your writing skills and story behind was great. I wish I could have proposed it to Curie, so it could get exposure. But guidelines are strict about controversial remarks. So just one word could have disqualified it. That's why I asked to change it, otherwise none of my business.
You do have some great writing skills, I think you should continue writing great posts like that. Persistence will be rewarded eventually.
Good Luck.
