I think you have somewhat of a point, but. Like. On one hand, it was in public, there’s no indication it was meant to be confidential at the time. None of this is anything anyone could use to track her down. It’s a humanizing, empathetic story about people having a bad time towards an end of building empathy. But the part where I maybe agree a bit is like, she may or may not have agreed to people sharing her story. My guess is she probably would; but we can’t trivially ask her. It might not be too terribly hard for Declan to find her again and get her consent to share it, and my guess is she’d give it eagerly; if it’s achievable for him to do that I’d suggest he should. But if he can’t, I’d default to share. Maybe not with her full name though.
