I generally avoid the thread in question and stick with the nice folks in Fashion and Services Offered, with forays into "happy birthday" threads and Get It Out/Compliments. Chances are it won't take me long to get back into that routine, to be honest. ;-)

Right now I am having a real gut reaction to this--partly, I'm sure, due to it surfacing after my meme about adjectives describing my past. Now that I know for a fact that a friend is being hurt by this sort of thing--grrr. The protective urge is strong.

Just hide the sharp objects from me for a while, and I'm sure I'll be fine. ::sigh::
