Ah, I see. Allow me to clarify- a "hangup", in the context of my post, refers to a concept which repeatedly gets interjected/projected into various discussions which isn't really about the subject matter at hand. It doesn't mean it is totally off-topic, however. For example, if I had a strong belief that eating ice cream is "wrong", and then proceeded to jump around from thread to thread posting about my beliefs about ice cream, that would constitute a "hangup". Even then, it isn't "wrong" to have a hangup, merely that it is an indicator that there is some underlying concern that it may be helpful to address more directly. For example, if I thought that this forum were being used to recruit people into an "ice cream cult" or something silly like that. Better to just come out and say it, in my opinion.
