> [@WeWereInfinite](#): > > I have so much to say, but I don’t feel safe doing it. Would you feel any safer using (for example) a free machine at the library, rather than your home computer? It also might help to search for other threads on your topic, as then you might be able to guess how the board will react. ..or maybe you’ll find an answer in an old thread. A lot of people use this board to talk about things they can \*not \*speak of in real life. It’s ok, really. Just as an example, one of our longtime posters wrote: > [@I think my testicles are going to explode](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-think-my-testicles-are-going-to-explode/121688/29): > > …Now, I’d like to address something Tuba said. > > No, I have no governor on my brain when it comes to this board. I work at a job where I deal with the public, and I’m known about town, and I have a public persona that I maintain for business and for family. I can’t always be what I want to be or say what I want to say in the real world. > > I’ve only met one person from this board, and that was during a road race. I’ll have few if any interactions with any of the people on this board, and only my wife knows that I post here. > > I like it that way. You guys are all strangers to me, and that gives me a freedom, I haven’t had since I was a kid. Frequently I surprise myself when I see just how fantastic the person I am on this board is. With equal frequency I am shocked when I see just how rotten and mean and crappy I can be. > > But through it all, for complete strangers, you guys sure are an excellent group of friends. > > Thanks for laughing and sharing, and arguing fiercely with me about things that don’t matter. > … You can read [the whole thread here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=128401&highlight=sperm), and if it doesn’t scare you away from here…well, a lot of other things might. But we’re mostly ok. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-have-so-much-to-say/492394)._
