No thrust here, I am just exploring underlying assumptions and a priori morality. I am not advocating a POV. Not speaking of you directly, but of all generally, why does a list of past lovers make one uncomfortable? Does one regret the affairs? Are some or all affairs "secret" -- from ones spouse, from friends? Were some partners married at the time? Was one themselves married at the time? Are some or all on the list false? Do the affairs contradict ones public statments on morality, thus exposing one as hypocritical? Would the list embarass or confuse ones or others children? Is ones identity or value tied to what others think of oneself? Is the discomfort stemming from a sense of loss -- the exposure of personal, delicate, intimate moments which are private, personal and loose something if exposed to the light of the world? Does it matter what the intent of the poster is? Thats is, if the same list were posted by people with quite different motivations, would that change how one felt? ------------------------ Yahoo!
