It seems to me, that this poster posited an interesting question, and offered a personal reason as to why she was prompted to ask that question.

In order to avoid responses to the query becoming overly 'personal' and evoke anxieties over trolling and so-on. The query might have caused less complicating side-debate, if it had remained a "what if?" hypothetical one, rather than a "this happened to me" anecdotal one?
