People ask me questions. I answer them honestly, not least because I don’t have the skill to say “I’m not answering that” without it sending some completely different set of messages. Saying a bunch of stuff in private without giving anyone a chance to respond to what I’m guessing about them is deontologically weighed-against by my rules, though not forbidden depending on circumstances. I do not do this in hopes any good thing results, but then acts with good consequences are few and far between in any case, these days.
