You aren't writing informatively either, because you have a clear axe to grind beyond informing others of what happened. Also, a well written piece doesn't require additional clarification. If you can't write a good essay without including information you would hesitate to reveal publicly, then no publicly available good essay is writable.

I wrote elsewhere about different possible meanings of believing you. Suffice it to say that one could believe iceman and still not believe you. That's essentially where I'm at - and I have no intention of investigating further, because I'm not someone who seriously cares about this issue.

You seem to think the social pressure that led iceman to post has caused a serious harm to iceman (or others). I acknowledge the social pressure, but don't see the serious harm that you seem to see. Given that I've never heard of this event before, retaliation by the organizer beyond exclusion from future events is so remote as to be unimaginable by me.

And I'm tapping out.
