Oh no, I think that discourse on contentious topics like that one can be interesting and helpful.

On a level, I do agree. People have a right to their opinions - but the way in which an opinion/dislike is presented is critical. This does give us an opportunity to perhaps see a different side of the applicant than would otherwise be seen (or would be seen too late).

the differentiation between Thieves and Monks can be a little hard sometimes

Completely agreed here. There is often a very fine line between the two classes. Same with the dragoons and soldiers.
