I agree with what the original poster had to say, & I can understand why s/he chose to remain anonymous. I found it difficult in the early days of posting, because I felt that there was a clique, although I never thought that anyone was deliberately excluding me.
You just have to dare to be part of it - and I have got well into it in recent days - I'm aware of the complex histories/friendships etc.I have no wish to intrude,I am just trying to join in - I'm also aware that I can put a dumbass quip on a thread and it may or may not get taken up or APPEAR to be a fact though that,overall,its lovely on here,very funny when its funny,very profound when its profound.
Aggression, friendliness, humour mirth and gravitas. Welcoming arms, reproachful rejection, dismissive ego's and overcompensating sycophancy. Blandness and cliché of the highest degree, insightful open hearted honesty with great happiness and sorrow. Stark and sometimes wonderful reality, obvious and covert lies universal truths. Moronic misunderstanding and intelligent frank and free exchange.
All of human life is here and that is what makes this forum the very best by a mile of its kind.
Swinging heaven shines like a light to anyone passing through, no matter how obtuse or perceptive they may be, a light that shows that the lifestyle it portrays is no simpler or less real (or less fake) than any other strata of society today.
All of human life is here, that's what makes it so good..isnt it ! ?
