> [@olivesmarch4th](#): > > This is just silly. If you espouse an opinion and a majority happens to disagree, all it means is that _most of those people disagree with you_. No need to be a martyr about it. No, it means you get piled on and flamed for having a dissenting opinion. It’s easier to just keep quiet than deal with, well, this sort of thread, for the most part. ---

> [@cricetus](#): > > I think you’re confused about what this thread is about. I am not talking about people who suffered trauma.

My point was that the rehashing is sometimes mawkish, sometimes honestly cathartic.Darned hard to tell which it is as it unfolds… ---

I actually find it easy to tell which it as it “unfolds” several years later. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-were-you-when-stories/509683.md?page=4)
