I have written things that I opted not to post, knowing that readers would probably latch onto parts of it I would rather they not or would interpret things in a way I didn't intend. Sometimes you just got to write it for you so you know what fills that particular gap, and that's enough. It isn't cowardice. Personally, if I write something where the intent is that a certain behavior is unhealthy, and most readers respond to the behavior as if it is unhealthy, but a couple of readers respond with "aww, that's so sweet" it makes me feel really uncomfortable and like I'm responsible for furthering some unhealthy views.
