I'd argue it's perfectly ok. The major appeal of this site is that it's a space we can go to and be ourselves on a level we can't anywhere else. And i don't think that freedom of expression should just apply to the content of what we're allowed to say, but to how we choose to express ourselves as well. So while i can't necessarily speak for everyone, i feel really confident saying that i don't see anything wrong with you responding to this thread when you want to, and i suspect most people here will see it the same way.
It doesn’t sound stupid at all either, it’s thoughtful of you to ask about it
