the seven-word story was an attempt at deflection (if admittedly halfhearted, but heavens know how much wordier I can and have been. I guess I thought it would be obvious) as much as I want to say something about how truth will choke you if you swallow it too long, at the same time, curiosity is a dangerous thing. you're quite right.
Apparently my day off has been shortened to an afternoon off. And also, I guess I missed something informative.

Oops. I was experimenting when Monica did that thing about mods not being able to PM people who turn it off, forgot to fix it. Try now
I was being facetious when I called it a competition. Some of us come from screwed up families, yes. I don't think it's worth dwelling on permanently; on the other hand, why shouldn't people share stories if the end result is simply a reminder that we're not alone and that others have had similar experiences?

bah. showoff. unless I never got to actually mentioning that I didn't ever do more than swear at basic declination in Latin, in which case - still a showoff, but maybe you didn't know it as such. (which you can safely read as: if you can seriously actually *read* in Latin, I both hate you and may die of jealousy)

Yes. This. These are terrible stories that are somewhat (cheapened? I don't know) by the light of day. Maybe my aversion to it is its own problem. Perhaps. Perhaps. It is not that no one should speak of things. Just, there are fifty lurkers here. It doesn't seem the proper place. What place is proper? I do not know. There's enough here for us to talk to each other, if we want to do so. Maybe I am thinking too much about it. I do know that there is more than a blithe difference between saying "this happened to me" and "I am going to go into some detail about it". I am comfortable with one but not the other. I don't wish to silence anyone or diminish your will to speak about what happened to you. Just, this place with a hundred people, I think it might not be the best. There isn't a consistency to how I feel, it's just I don't want it to turn into "a terrible thing in my life storytime" Why not? I don't know. Probably because I'm afraid I'll start sharing stories, and I don't want to.
