>Yes, Scott is right, at this point, the conversation has taken on a life of its own. It seems to me, the discussion at this point about the "morbid fascination" thing is a philosophical exploration, not a rejection of you for having used it.
In the same way that I posed the question to you about this term possibly reflecting your own self doubts about permission to focus on your illness, I think you are not alone. I, and possibly others here, also grapple with this issue, at least on some level, and the words stimulated thoughts about it.
Remember, too, that text based discussion has a way of leading to misunderstandings of intention, so what may seem to you like offence taken by others at your words probably is not so much that. To me it has seemed just discussion/exploration.
