You know, when I'm feeling down, or bad, or am just generally in a terrible mood, I write. I get it all out. And then I delete it without saving it. Not only does it never see the internet, but it never even leaves notepad. Because the purpose of my writing is to sort out my own feelings and make myself feel better. Putting it all out there for everyone to see when there's no crime being committed is just personal indulgence without any perspective. I wouldn't want to work with someone who would put me on blast like that, and I don't know anyone else who would either. This isn't even an event where someone else did anything wrong. It's just the writer misunderstanding what being a PhD candidate is about.
