Yeah, I'm really glad I re-read those too!
Yikes.I'm pretty sure you didn't want to get into a whole discussion about the 'research' issue.
But I have to say, though I'm still having a rough time with the personal stuff. In this case *I think* I kind of understand idea behind leaving those things up. Though perhaps its only because the outcome was positive for me.At first I was mortified by what had been said, and angry too. After all the admin posts though,
It didn't seem so important, because I didn't realize before how much support there was for me as a person, until things were really put to the test. Maybe I'm thick that way, but I didn't.
I knew if I was suicidal there would be support, but never in this kind of situation.And the variety of support too, the humor, never did I think I could laugh about being called ugly! Nor did I think someone would notice or bother to find out that I don't use expressions like Pansy-Ass, or that I would likely know how to spell better than Alpha Male.
I could go on and on. It taught me a lot.I'm not sure though if I would feel the same had the research results had added more pain :0
