Hubski,

     I've done bad things and I don't want to tell you without a mask on. It's not that I'm scared, but that I'm not to be defined by a single action. And I don't think you know me well enough to see me as more well-rounded. 
     I'm sure you have done bad things too. Or maybe you have a secret? Perhaps you just want to tell us all how terrible we are without letting us see you get mad? No matter what the issue is, and whether or not you need a mask, I want to know your secrets. Put them in the burn pit and let them go.
     Write a dirty story. Do something out of character. Just put something in The Burn Pit. Let's expose ourselves as more human than we are ready for. Use my screen name as yours: the password is ThrowMeAway1. Or make your own. 
Sincerely, ThrowMeAway1

So. Here's the thing. If you search hard enough you'll find some very personal and touching, angering, saddening, or other emotional tell-all stories posted by the people here, myself included. It's more of a "I'm comfortable around these people" situation as opposed to a Burn Pit, which I think has a higher chance of being entirely fabricated or at the very least isn't as beneficial to the person posting the stuff or the community which is by and large helpful and thoughtful.

To be able to be honest with yourself and honest with the other people here (and in real life) is a valuable skill. My point is probably lost as I try to make it, as I'm a bit hopped up on coffee but what I'm getting at is the lack of necessity and potentially lack of usefulness of something like this. Stick around long around, make some personal connections, and y'all will find that Hubski really is a place where we can push back the dark together, without the masks and increased anonymity.
