ok, ok, ok, I'll do it. I got a bunch of PMs prodding me to post this, and it's like waving a red flag in front of a bull:
Some of the "women" posting on this very thread very likely possess male gonads.

There, I said it. You know who you are.
Interesting thread Hung. After reading it, it makes me think about reality versus webality.
Webality in it's truest form should be an extension of one's reality. There are people out there that have issues, real life ones. When those RL issues become overwelming, a growing number come to the web to adopt an alternate reality. That isn't fair to those who truly are living a healthy webality, but moreso, it isn't fair to the perpetrator. There are members that came on, had issues, shared said issues and once that was dealt with, life went on and they became great contributirs in the community here.
Having problems is OK. Even the most self assured person gets the doubts. The thing is, before you come and damage others, go get help. Talk to a professional sort through your issue and then come onto the web and be an honest, healthy contributor.
My observations of the people who posted to this that are genuinely upset:
- They are all secure in who they are
- Are the same person here that you would meet on the street
- Live the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you)
- They are very accepting of newcomers that are genuine
- They are angered by deceit of any kind
- They are genuine and real
I came onto this forum and was afraid of the strong personaes I first saw and then I sat back and said, "What the hell are you scared for? You are who you are and they will see that."
I hope in my short time, I have made it evidently clear through my actions and words that what you see is what you get. And to the others reading this thread that have been genuine and real? Thank you for being up front and who you are. That makes you all truly beautiful people, pictures or not.
