AL Teen Missing in Aruba

Since Alumiyum keeps wanting to type to me....

It speaks on what some of us have been talking about for the past few pages. And, as I keep telling Alumiyum, this discussion isn't about her. It is a general observation. Surely she notices that she is not the only person who has expressed certain views in the past 5 or so pages. The same applies to such discussions outside of Greekchat (some of us have those, as well). Some people are very sensitive about any type of Holloway discussion that goes beyond reminding everyone of how tragic this is because she was "normal, pretty, nice, had a bright future ahead of her...."

I excepted myself since I know that in regards to this thread I have not been objective and therefore did not want to be included in the example/elaboration. I was asking for an elaboration on what it "speaks" to. I have not, in fact, noticed a trend towards people feeling somehow connected to the case in this thread, other than the expected "I feel sorry for her family".

You are correct. It is not about me. It never has been, so you can really stop repeating yourself. I'll be glad to keep take that job over and repeat:It. Is. Not. About. Me. I use "I" so that I do not run the risk of speaking for others.

The bold shows that you're missing the point. This discussion isn't exclusive to those posting in this thread.

Obviously, I realize that. However were it a strong trend, surely it would be present here, too.
