Everyone knows about your problem. And by choosing not to answer the question out in the open, proves you know your answer will hurt people.

Yes, my answer will hurt people. Since everyone knows about it., why should I even answer your question when you already know the answer? Its a rhetorical question. You're either one of those haters, or either one of those people who want me to answer the question DESPITE (like what you say) the answer hurting people.
Why do you even care anyway? Its not as if you're the one hurt. Or are you?

its better to know, than assume. So ask;
