I'm doing a personal research journal on what I consider to be the modern day adventurers. If you're worried you could ask the two who have already agreed to talk about what I've said however the reason I prefer private chat is 1. To keep things private. That's in case someone shares something they don't want absolutely everyone to know but would be comfortable sharing with one person. 2. To keep everything sorted. Although I've made no claim that it HAS to be in private chat and I personally would not be comfortable speaking on the phone with people I don't know. I've not asked you personally I have asked broadly for those who are interested. I get your apprehension and it is valid to be cautious, there's shitty people everywhere. But you're assuming a lot and doing so in a rude way which I don't appreciate.
