Expressing_publicly [agentive]
A Communicator publically communicates some difficult-to-express Content which they (or a social group of which they are a member) have had for some time. The Content may not have been previously communicated due to inability or social stricture. In cases where the individuals addressed are a smaller group than the public at large, a separate Addressee may be expressed.
