Your exact words were: "If it (genuinely) feels good do it." When you put
a word in parens, it means "incidentally" or "by the way." It is not the
way to highlight or emphasize something. Even if you meant to highlight
"genuinely," I don't see that it adds anything to the meaning of the
sentence. To claim that omitting is "aggressive pillorying" comes across
of ultra defensive.
