Dear Readers of the Fastlane Forum,
Recently there was a big debate on one of my past threads on my using of offensive language to address my home country.
I have a traumatized past including being kidnapped as a kid by a organ harvesting ring and other terrible experiences, best kept private. Due to this, my views about the place are shaped around MY experiences that I saw happening around ME, the news I saw on TV that I remembered, the thoughts I believe in, etc.
When questions were popped up, I replied with my views and beliefs shaped by my experience of reality there. While no one has the right to judge me or know everything about my past, I agree that some views are best kept private for personal safety reasons. Not everyone gets kidnapped or abused. It can happen in ANY place. The US and India both have incidents of crimes. Luck I suppose.
But saying country X is like ABC is a blanket statement.
@NervesOfSteel I apologize to you and your group of people that I have offended by sharing my beliefs publicly. These are MY beliefs though. All f*cked up. Because of a f*cked up past I didn't want to, but the discussion was triggered on a public thread.
It didn't help that I had trauma flashbacks and it was a trauma response playing itself out publicly. Never have, I, in my life before received death threats for saying something out on the internet.
After one of the people here leaked my ID, all my social media accounts were hacked. I have been receiving threats and had to call the police yesterday.
As a result, I am publicly asking that the thread be deleted for my personal safety. Atleast the content I posted. I wasn't aware after locking, I wont be able to delete it later.
Not everyone has a bad experience in any country. Plenty of good and bad people in both countries. Maybe @NervesOfSteel experience is a really good one. And mine was bad. Yours could be either. Anywhere.
Criticizing anything publicly is a terrible recipe for personal safety.
