Well, it's the off-topic area for a reason. Obviously, any opinions or advice we offer would just be as if we were any acquaintance/friend of the OP.
As long as everything's civil, I don't see any reason why anyone would need to censor themselves here, especially in the event that this is (what the OP feels) a trusted, friendly, and open community for the members.
If anything, I should mention that these forum posts can be seen by anyone, whether they are logged in/registered or not. So watch that personal info
