I love your comment! I can tell that you're a tangential referential thinker, and I assume the downvotes are more from people frustrated that the bounds of the thought-space are being fuzzed in ways frustrating to their minds.

Metaphor and analogy are in a similar spirit to what you are speaking of. The thinking they ground offer a frustrating inability to contain. Some people love to travel through language into other thoughts, and some are paralysed by that prospect.

As always, success is in the balance and bothness :)

Anything, thanks for sharing!
