The exhibitionism can be a bit irritating sometimes...you feel like saying, "Go get a goddam room and stop doing that in front of everyone." or "Why don't you fire up your Yahoo IM and go at it?" Of course I understand that some folks get off on this sort of public display of affection (PDA) & I also believe in the liberty to express one's self so long as it doesn't harm others, etc...
But an important "also" about that is that Freedom of Speech also warrants the right to bitch about whatever it is that bugs you that people may do on here. It's a two-way street. For instance, if your PDA bugs someone they might start "butting in" to the conversation in some way just to shake things up or otherwise disrupt your exhibitionism. You gotta pay to play -- if you go gushing all over a public forum, you can expect trolls to rear their ugly heads. It's just the way it is. If you don't like it, then find someplace else to go do the nasty.
I also think that some ppl take this fucking forum WAAAYYY too seriously...like there are supposed to be some set of rules about what should and should not be posted here..this place is a free-for-all and I doubt that anything will ever changed that. People can look elsewhere for serious representation of & by survivor folk, or the voice of the veteran, or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.
