I'm not ashamed of anything I do or say at TFP, but that doesn't mean I want just anyone who happens to meet me to know about it. Here, I can express all the facets of my personality where it is not practical nor prudent to do so in my interactions out in the "real world." I'm happy to keep them separate and am thankful that TFP affords me the opportunity to do so. Why mess with a good thing?
