What made you want to share that? Genuinely interested, I never get all this personal stuff posted over the internet… seems very odd and clinical. *shrugs*

I think OANST summed it up pretty well, but if you need a complete explanation that bad, then here.
This is a place for socializing if you haven't noticed; it doesn't have a business-like atmosphere because it's meant to be open and friendly. OWF would be incredibly boring if no one ever discussed any personal thoughts, so I appreciate when someone does share a piece of personal history. When someone shares something personal, it reminds me that there's more to a forum than the pixals in each post: There are real people with real emotions and real histories behind the words.
Besides, it not only makes the conversations more interesting, but it also adds depth and adds more to a point because any opinion anyone possessses develops from personal experience. Therefore, to understand someone's views/points is to understand some personal history.
So.. If I'm discussing a topic and make a point which I derive from a memory, however personal, I will definitely post it.
