Well yes, obviously if you always shut up you can never get in such trouble. That's a truism, no? I thought the issue in this discussion is whether it's worth going through such trouble or not, from various points of view. I think the answer is yes and no - it depends. If somebody thinks it's part of how they see themselves in life, how can I argue against it? As long as it's not about violence or heavily negatively involving other people who did not ask for it I see it within their right. Even with a blog post, and even if we had a response from the other side, we still can only listen, such situations are highly... situational. I don't mind it becoming public, if people don't think they can't get anything out of it they don't need to read. Humans just love talking about this kind of stuff, so there should be some evolutionary benefit overall, even if we can't assign one to any one concrete discussion. I think we as reader could relax a bit as well, for us it's more of a brain game, since we are not involved and only have the very limited public information. Meaning, most of our points will be based on our own imagination, interpretation and life experience.
