Why would something you say or do come back to haunt you? Beliefs are as malleable as clay. As time progresses your beliefs will develop and change that doesn't mean you should be ashamed or fear about what you held true to in the past. Fear is for people untrue to themselves IMO. No one would expect an infant to lead a country and yet we vote in leaders knowing that when they were young they wet themselves, called their siblings "fat heads", and probably ate paint chips... do we hold that against them?

If a person were the same immutable soul throughout time then why even have prisons? Might as well throw the mentally disabled and prisoners together into the same pit and never release them. Maybe I'm just too hedonistic about the idea but what has fear or worry ever done for someone that good planning and logical thought couldn't? Might as well be happy and net the same result.

I never censor myself.
I just preview what I wrote to see if there's any mistakes and to make sure it's cohesive enough and post.

I would think we're all smart enough not to post bad language or abusive content, but I know I'm wrong about that. Sad

I don't worry about my identity coming out since I don't post enough personal information for it to.
But if I meet another user and they ask, I just tell them. No biggie.

I found out that someone I really looked up to in Georgia sent a very abusive PM about me to someone-not sure who-who knew of me in Jollanamdo.
I know because that same person began a thread and then their PM got quoted.
All I learned from this incident is that people in Florida and Georgia are impossible to know unless you have money out the yazoo, regardless of what you look like or how nice you are.
Crying or Very sad

Always. I find the no swearing or name calling the antithesis of fun. And I've already been spanked for it once cause I didn't really believe eslcafe could be so anal.
