Online communities are great and I am proud to be a member of one that is so thoughtful of its members and visitors alike. For alot of folks who are removed from immediate family for various reasons there is a certain catharsis in belonging to an online community, or "family" if you will. Relationships are forged that are as strong as any you might have in real life due to the length of time and frequency that some folks are involved and/or interact with each other. The tragedies (regardless of definition) that occur have no less a resounding effect on the persons invloved than if something happens right outside your front door. The trick is to always have the same objectivity that you may apply in your "real life". As I write this diatribe I am reminded that it is a privilege to have membership in a community such as this where i can vent frustrations, have fun playing, or poke a little fun at someone for my own sake. Thats probably more than some people have in their daily life outside of the "online community" To the ones who make it possible and spend personal time doing things that are classified by definition as actual work, so that i can come here and show my ass on occasion, i am humbed and i truly am thankful. I can only hope that others can be so appreciative, and not be apt to take these things for granted. Everyone in life has a sad story to tell and some personal baggage to go with. Not everyone has an outlet to help them forget those stories, even for just a brief moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
