Dinah,

I agree that posters do tend to generally mean well. I like your approach of giving the benefit of the doubt, especially since the written word can be so tricky.

As for over disclosure bringing shame, fear, and guilt, well you hit the nail on the head! The problem for me is that my ability to use those emotions to judge whether I've actually over disclosed is pretty useless. I remember my first therapist being pretty dismayed when after a whole year I was still pretty much not sharing anything real. I made some little disclosures (very piddly compared to where I am now with my new therapist) and I felt absolutely mortified and reckless. She got pretty tired of me.

It's interesting that you view Poster's Remorse as a double check to keep you from posting too much. I think I see it as getting in my way from posting as much as I'd like to.

thanks,
turtle
