bender, you shouldn't feel nervous. We don't bite..... hard.
But on a side note about threads. One thread mentioned was the "virginity" thread... It's a thread that does not belong in General Discussion. It is, instead, a Member's Playground type thread. The reason it hasn't been moved yet: The originator of the thread does not yet have enough criteria to be able to view the Playground. Once he does, be assured it will be moved.
The point I was trying to make, that some people did get, was that if I have a bunch of threads that say "Fuck me. Yes or No?" What kind of discussion am I starting? Actually, NONE. All you doing is having people answer a question which they can usually do in very few words.
We're looking for dialog, here. Nothing fantastic, nothing major, but more than a single word or sentence answer. There is not always a need to quote a source to do this. But make a statement. Don't just come into a thread with a single question which you, yourself don't even answer.
And thanks, Lebell, for your understanding. Yes, I care deeply for this community, and I work hard to care for and improve it every chance I get.
Now, I'm still waiting for those of you reading this thread: how about a pledge to attempt to start threads a "better way"? What can it hurt to try to get away from the "yes or no" single sentence thread starting approach?
