Good idea Ringo.
I think, like you, this may be a very rare posting from me. I’ve been lurking for a couple of months and have managed to post once before but killed that thread dead, damn. Let’s see if I can do it twice!?
The thought of posting here is really quite intimidating, as everyone seems soooo clued up on what they’re talking about.
I’ve been reading the board pretty much every day at work and it’s kept me sane/insane in my inanely boring call centre job. So many interesting thoughts & new things brought to my attention, not to mention discovering a few new bands. I’ve smiled, laughed and grimaced at some of the things I’ve read here. I think I got my new girlfriend through sigil magic too, possibly!?
However, I’ve just read the ‘New Members’ thread & I have to say that I found a few of the comments really offensive, for people I believed were open minded they appeared anything but. Some of it reads like kids in the playground deciding who should be in there gang.
I know Barbelith has built itself into an outstanding community of freethinkers, but rather than hiding away you should be letting people into your amazing world and spreading your messages. I know you will get some chaff in your wheat, but I've seen the way trolls are dealt with and I know you can handle it. Just give the moderators the power to remove users if they cause any trouble.
Oh and I came to Barbeltith though The Invisibles and The Bomb and not from Google.
All I really wanted to say is that I come in peace!
Oooo, oooo, could we have avitars and signitures on the postings as well, pleeeeeeze (Joking!) |
