Did I get the community values right?
Title. I thought it deserves it's own post. Any comments appreciated.

Agree on majority of the post, except for "make the choices you feel are right". Hard disagree on this normatively. If you're saying it descriptively, sure, but it's essentially tautological at that point.
We shouldn't advocate that people just act in whatever way feels correct to them. Sociopaths feel like it's okay to do things that are not okay. So do bigots, racists, speciesists, sexists, etc.
We should instead do what you're doing with the majority of your post, advocate for correct positions and then come to a rational conclusion with the people we are talking to. Giving them a get out of jail free card, permitting them to do literally anything, is unnecessary.
Invoking guilt, yes I'm saying it descriptively. I put it at the end as a "I'll let you make the right choice". Thanks for pointing it out, though.
