the fact that nobody died does not mean that it is possible to "step
out" of the virtual KC relationship just like that. You can grieve the
loss of an ideal. You can grieve the loss of a relationship you
thought you had. You can grieve the loss of the idea that people can
be trusted. The loss of your confidence to realize when you are being
played.

It will come. Maybe. I didn't have a relationship with KC, just read
her blog for a month or two, and honestly I don't feel like laughing
yet. Trying to push people into humor before they are ready for it
does nobody good. Remember that for some people, this event might be
resonating with past injuries. I know it's my case, and I know there
are others.

I guess that for most people who were "involved", they aren't just
dealing with the "KC stuff" right now. You can't isolate this event
and just tell people to "get over it".
