I am going to tell you why I don't give my name on this site. Hyde is a Cult. At Hyde they prod and manipulate you into telling your inner dark secrets in a way that is humiliating and degrading. Therefore Hyde knows a lot of very personal information about all who go there.
Many of us are people in good standing in the community and do not want the whole world to know our life stories. It is disturbing to think that Hyde might take some kind of revenge, but the idea would not surprise me. Although I can't speak for the other posters, this is why I personally do not give my name. Ya see, Hyde still has the power over us!!
I commend you for having more courage than me. You weren't there for that long according to your posts. I was, and therefore Hyde has a lot more "dirt" on me. Unfortunately I saw many times where "what goes on in the room, stays in the room" did not apply when it relates to Hyde, Joe Gauld, Duncan, Ken, Malcolm, Laura and any of the staff/cult members.
Boy, do I get it. My wife is uncomfortable as well, although she's fine with me doing my thing. I certainly understand, although I don't believe Hyde would ever divulge info given privately, within their confines, to the public. That would be very risky for them to do from a legal perspective. But you make a great deal of sense, and it's really a shame.
Thank you.
