your post is too emotional

"your post is too clairvoyant" Element.

I'm sorry that you misread me, but judging a person's emotional state via brief written remarks is difficult when we know the person well, and almost impossible when we don't. So much gets left out in this medium: pacing, tone of voice, body language.

the buddha had no difficulty here

Tell it to Sati!

"What is consciousness, Sati?"

"Venerable sir, it is that which speaks and feels and experiences here and there the result of good and bad actions."

"Misguided man, to whom have you ever known me to teach the Dhamma in that way? Misguided man, have I not stated in many ways consciousness to be dependently arisen...?"
