This is really interesting overall, but I gotta say, just saying this:

> And I'm guessing you can also imagine how publicly reciting these stories could get me into trouble in today's political correctness culture.

Is far more creepy than whatever fraught power dynamics you were probably a part of! Not a big deal, but it made me laugh.

I'm not concerned about people reading the whole story and having a bad impression. I'm concerned about people deliberately cherry-picking a part of the sentence to quote out of context just to stir up outrage. Outrage can be monetized extremely well on social media and, sadly, some people will follow this financial incentive no matter how unethical.

I've already seen an unflattering partial quote of one of my HN comments end up in a newspaper once, so I'm a bit careful about that. But it would be very difficult to write a funny and juicy story in such a way that it is "evil quote safe", which is why I decided against it.
