Myself included. It's a great account.

That said, commenting and participating in a public forum is something I've done for a long time and which I'm comfortable with. This is Steve's first attempt at a mashup. Things are far scarier the first time around.

Also, scary doesn't have to be relative. Sure, going and fighting a war is something most people would find scary. A lot of people would feel the same way about walking down a strange dark alley. Are an active war zone and a poorly-lit space AT ALL similar? No. Yet they're both scary. Others still find meeting new people scary. That doesn't mean that they have "thin skin" or that they live a "sheltered life".

Scary is subjective, not objective, and you don't get to be the person who chooses what other people are and aren't wary of.
