I am afraid to post or choose not to because:
I usually feel left out here at PC, esp. when I read about how others have made so many friends here and I don't feel like I know anyone.

When I do post my POV there are usually no responses.

I'm afraid someone might recognize me professionally and I will lose my anonymity.

I don't know whether I can truly be candid with my opinion or must only post "there, there, it will be alright."

I've recognized (as has everyone else here) who are the people who have problems with each other. Sort of like the "elephant in the living room" phenomena with no resolution.

When I first joined here, I couldn't hardly wait until someone PM'd me--until I got two separate PMs from people blasting me unfairly. One of the posters was a teenager telling me to take my "mother crap" somewhere else.
