> Is there a reason that you remain emotionally unattached while intellectually comitted? There is a cost beyond me to sharing details of my life in a public forum. At Lukti's request (urging might be a better word) I've started to open up, but I know in doing so I am making decisions for others. Reasons NOT to share details of my life: Safety - the sum total of all the real-world information I post over time paints a profile which can be used to pinpoint me in real life. Granted, only a very determined person would bother. This is true for everyone here (it suprises me the level of risk people are willing to take). I'm willing to open up here a little if that's what it takes. Irrelevance/off-charter: My stories are not "on-topic" for new threads. They rarely contain boymoments and when they do, the boy usually isn't central. When replying to existing threads, I try to stay on-topic there also. I'm willing to post irrelevant material if it's not boring or a waste of space. Stories involving other people: I posted a note on BC about 3 kids in my church last night. Would the parents of those kids be happy if they knew I mentioned them (even by initial, age, and church) on a PEDOPHILE forum? I doubt it. If you track me down, you track them down too. I have taken the decision to post this out of the parents hands, which is at least a little rude. I am not as willing to do this on a regular basis as the first two. -d (david_tx on IRC) |
