Please don’t be put off if your beliefs differ wildly from my own. This isn’t a debate, I am doing research for my Case Studies project. I won’t judge or attack you or your views, nor will I post them publicly if you don’t want me to. Be as brief or as long-winded as you’d like, I value any help. You can send me a message through my ask, or respond to this post directly.
You can also send me an email, particularly if you’d like to discuss things further: kateflood@live.com
If you’re giving a simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer, please put the question number next to it so I know what you’re answering.
Answer anonymously if you would like. If you’d rather answer with your username visible but would prefer any reference I make to your answer to be anonymous, let me know. Thank you ! XX
