Seriously??

I have NEVER claimed to be a professional or expert on the matter!!

If you read my original post I said I had to get it off my chest, I never said 'listen here, I am an expert, do as I say'

No! I have given you my opinions and been in turn accused of being close minded, condescending, judgmental and a dozen other things at least.

Yes, I rebut, that is what a debate is!!! Am I supposed to just roll over and say, 'oh you are right, I don't understand how someone in my shoes would feel, you absolutey deserve to lie and hide your CD habit! How silly of me to suggest otherwise!'

Just as all of you have your own opinions, and express them, I have mine and thought I could express my PERSPECTIVE (note that is the title of my post, perspective).

I have gotten many many private messages from both sides who were afraid to agree with me in this public forum for fear of getting the same accusations thrown at them.
