Sharing experiences is not a debate.
The thing that astounds me is that some folks seem to feel that the personal experiences of others *have* to be responded to critically, or even negatively. Why? For me, for instance, I have *zero* instance in the sorts of things Rory was talking about; they don't map to my life at all. But I perceive that they are *his* experiences, that *he* considers them valuable, and that he is unafraid enough of the negative reaction that he *knows* by now he's going to get here to share them. That deserves a pat on the back and support from me, no matter how I feel about the content of what he's sharing.
