Personally I am dismayed to read where this thread has ended up.
I can't complain because I'm not the OP, but it just so happens that the thread heading is about a medical condition that has wrecked my life, and it feels a tad disrespectful. I wonder how somebody who is looking for information and support about hypospadias would feel by the time they got to the end of this thread. Confused, disillusioned? Had the thread been about child sexual abuse I wonder if folk would have felt comfortable talking about porn......
I had hoped that the thread might be of help to me and anyone else out there with the same or similar condition, and it did to start with. It seems to me the opportunity to open up about this, admittedly very specific medical condition has passed, and I regret putting myself out there and describing what were for me grim experiences.
"taking over" a thread (i hate that thats even a thing here; i call it conversing
I don't think it' is a 'thing' here, but it's generally helpful if the conversation bears some broad relevance to the thread heading, particularly for people who may come to read it later, looking for information, support, guidance. Otherwise we should just label every thread 'random stuff'.
I disengaged from this thread way back - but I felt I should say something, having supported the creation of the thread in the first place. Call me over sensitive, I probably am. It just doesn't feel good.
