i don't know that 'stronger' warnings are what is needed.
i think people do understand / comprehend (that the multi guess quiz is a fairly good measure of that)
what people may not grasp is the possible CONSEQUENCES of participation
just how damaging it could be if this or that post was read by this or that person...
and for people with problems with impulse control...
for people who are in distress...
for people who think they are going to die anyway...
for people who are having a f*cking episode...the possible consequences aren't a factor
they aren't in the place to consider them
and a 6 foot message ain't gonna help with that.the difference...
the difference between having a clinician / therapist
and talking to babblers...is that therapists are bound by CONFIDENTIALITY
babblers on the other hand...
well...
would you allow transcripts of your therapy sessions to be placed on the internet indefinately and linked to google?
but maybe thats what money buys you these days...
privacy.
what concerns me...
some peoples mental state...does the public have a right to know?
do potential employees have a right to know?or am i getting paranoid?
can't tell...
