> ...After a couple minutes I did put it in ... because the journal is worthless to me unless I can put any & every thought into it. If that's how you use Babble, I can seriously empathize with your situation.Yeah. That is fairly much how I use Babble. Not that I think Babble would be worthless to me if I did not use Babble like that (I could use Babble the way you do, for example). Maybe... I am rather foolish for using Babble the way I do...
But for me...
Shame.
Shame is a big thing for me. Shame that I have certain thoughts / feelings, shame that I do certain things. And rationally I know I *shouldn't* be ashamed. Or that a little bit of shame ain't gonna kill me or whatever. But emotionally... Well...
And when I post freely about my thoughts / feelings / rambellings / ravings / actions...
And people don't seem to cringe away from me in disgust...
Well... That is healing to me.
And helps me feel less ashamed.
But yeah...
That involves posting fairly personal things...
And that gives any one reading...
The power to hurt me very much :-(> (Although, I have to say again, I don't think you've posted anything you can get SUED for ;-)
Ah. I do not live in a litigious (however you spell that) society...
:-)
> (2) You say lots that seems sensible to me. And your sensible output is not merely a function of overall volume.Thanks. Though... I do believe that overall volume helps... But sometimes I worry about spamming the boards, yes...
> > I am fairly reactive IRL...
> What do you mean?Ideas / thoughts / feelings / behavings come fast. As fast and intense responses. I can bang out a fairly lengthy and detailed post at a rather rapid rate of knotts...
My academic writing is the same. I can bang out a fairly lengthy essay in a single night if I get into it.
Of course... In the latter context...
It must be edited and revised and reworked a little and structured etc etc etc.
And it only really comes together as a result of that latter process which is a fairly steady and concentrated effort...But the flurry...
Well...
That is how I post much of the time.
And...
It leads to stupid errors and ambigous phrasings and phrasings that aren't optimally sensitive at times etc etc.There must be a middle way ;-)
