Acceptance; it seems so easy here but,

Great idea Azskyman. I don't know if I have much to add to the above. This is a place to come and relax and catch up on things. I think that there is peer pressure here to be civil to each other. As Storsfury stated, we can type at our own pace and think about what we write before submitting it. When face to face, there's pressure to say something to avoid silence, and sometimes it doesn't come out right. You can reveal as little or as much about yourself as you are comfortable with. Amanzi, I appreciate your sharing about the shoulder peeks. I get that too. That's why I was trying to get Theresa to join, so she could see for herself that this is not a "meating" place.

I'm going to be honest. I'm much more subdued in real life in more public places. I am more confrontational and outgoing on the net (cf. evolution and other debates at TWC and WWBB). However, even though I am more involved in the 'net community than even 6 months ago, I am also more involved in my real life, so I guess there isn't a negative impact.

I like it for the "food"...but, seriously, if you see me as controversial or confrontational in here, I'd scare the hell out of you in person! :o NOT!
