I think GUEST,outside looking in might have had Diva's post in mind, for one.

There is such an assortment of experiences represented here - ones that have been central to our lives, so it is not surprising that strong emotions are coming into some posts. What started out as a fairly straightforward question has brought forth all sorts of responses and touched some people's 'sore spots'. Some of us have a lot to be angry about.

I haven't posted anything serious yet, probably because some of my experiences would make your hair stand on end, and they are way in the past, so I'm not sure if there is any point dragging things from the unpleasant past into the present. If the discussion goes that way, I may post part of it. If it gets lighthearted again, I'll go that way instead. I'm happy to go with the flow.

We've gone from light-hearted to deadly serious and everywhere in between, and I still think there is the potential for much more that is worthwhile in this thread, if we can keep our cool and not get angry at each other.
