Reply to comment by FartyPants69 in Reflexive fear responses tend to linger in people with anxiety disorders, study suggests by chrisdh79

I made passing reference to that. But I work in this field. It is not at all unusual to cross paths with people in professional and public spaces.

Believe it even more if they keep showing you who they are when the spot light is not on.

I still don't understand what you're trying to say. You're saying you've met him and he said or did something bad to you personally?

I don't have a dog in the fight, I know nothing about the guy, but when you call someone a "terrible human being" I guess I think it's a good idea to be able to clearly articulate why

That is just one part of a more robust post. And idk why you are focusing so much on that.

And this is vague because it has to be. There are professions that have many different rule sets they follow. Not everyone on Reddit is a 20 yr old boy. And not everyone on Reddit is without some level of reputation.

Research what whisper networks are and why they exist. Come back and tell us if you still think that last statement is a sensible and valid basis for all people to operate under.

No, that's exactly what you're saying. They stated it was vague because "it had to be," implying repercussions if they were too identifiable. The nature and purpose of whisper networks (which operate exclusively through gossip) is to allow important information and warnings to spread without such dangers.

By insisting that only those who can make clear accusations ever speak of issues, you are also stating anyone who faces jeopardy should either accept additional risks or not bother trying to pass any information. The worst this person's statement could lead to is others watching critically for a reason why or investigating further. That's a good thing, I think.

Wow. That’s amazing. What are you hoping for? Something you can use to dox people?

You are out of your mind. And when you say “you have no skin in the game” you don’t know what that means.

Read the book. Write Bessel love letters. Start a subreddit for Bessel stans. Good lord.

That quote saved my life more than once and I tell it to everyone I meet who will listen.
