Oh, i was taking the author at his word that sharing helps heal.  My mistake. 

The smart people know that these stories and related efforts have very little to do with helping heal anything, but instead are used to keep a pry bar issue alive and well, and to advance a set of related agenda items forward on the backs of the victims.   It's a classic and despicable technique, as thin a "charity and compassion" as the (erasable) poster board used for protest signs. 

It's a slightly more artful form of an Al Sharpton tactic.
