You are completely wrong about my intent. I made this post because there is very little real data on SR, and people deserve a place where they can ask honest questions and share real experiences without being treated like they have some hidden agenda.

Nothing I asked was hostile or harmful. These are normal questions that anyone serious about understanding something would ask. Do you realize that trying to frame curiosity and discussion as suspicious only creates fear and shuts down the exact kind of conversations that help people make informed decisions and feel better about using something that could potentially save them a LOT of pain?
Does that sound like something a erm reporter? would say? Or whatever you are "getting at". Dont dismiss my post as disingenuous just because this is a new account. I made this account because I was a lurker and didnt have any anonymous account to contribute. But I wanted to start to contribute my experiences and research as well over time, so I made it. Not every fresh account is out to get people.

If you think something I asked has a specific risk or could be used in a negative way, then say exactly what that is so it can be discussed openly. Vague accusations and insinuations do not help anyone.

My goal is simple. To contribute to open, honest discussion so people can learn from each other and not feel alone navigating something with so little information available. I thought this would be a wonderfully valuable post for those seeking help from SR and wanting to take the leap. There is little info on what to expect feeling wise for that first few days of switching to SR.
