Wow. 500 posts, and for some obscure reason, still going. Mulder, what inspired the revival? I just re-read some of this, and was reminded through the reading what a fantastic site this is. The fact that I was willing to even open up about this in here, although initially promted somewhat by the pseudo-anonimity of the meduim, was rewarded a hundred times more than I did or could have expected. I had forgotten that, a bit. This thread was, I think, the major moment for me in terms of thinking of this as an extended circle of friends. Very few just tried to concentrate on the more highschoolish aspects, and fewer still tried to take advantage of my vulnerability for extensions of petty personal conflicts. Noth would probably have been the norm in most other sites. But, here, most offered sincere advice about my moral dilema, and other aspects, and I will always appreciate that. Always. And when I was drunk ( had forgotten HOW drunk I had been until re-reading), people even tried to protect me from myself. There were very, very few examples of judgmental behaviour or juvenile snickering. I think that people who weren't part of it will think of it being about pornoography and sex, but I will always remember it as being about friendship and kindness. Thanks again to one and all who helped me back then.
