        No, what 'concerns me' is the faulty reasoning.


You're frustrated, needing trust around your reasoning, and honesty around
ours?

Sounds like you've been through some situations involving very intense
upsetness, and have skills there.

It sounds like I have not heard or understood them.  Are you able to repeat
them in a message that is clear and concise without extra discussion?  I'm
trying to draw bounds around what kinds of recording you are scared of, and
why.

It seems obvious to me that records held by an individual and their friends
is not surveillance, and that in general, surveillance is only harmful when
used by a powerful entity rather than a weak one.

I see the people here as working to help, and worry their work could be
hindered handling volatile discussions.
