I've been on the road all day and I think my brain has become somewhat dislocated, but I just couldn't resist sharing something (and it does turn out to be relevant, almost): As is clear, I'm new here. I don't really make a habit of posting on forums, but something about this one (specifically, the 'philosilly' section) turned me from a reader to a member. For the sake of argument, let's forget that my contributions have so-far been fairly meaningless; generally light-hearted and usually pointless. The members of this forum strike me as being widely varied in their views and philosophies, generally capable of expressing themselves in an intelligible manner, and in possession of knowledge, experience, and opinions that I might sometimes admire, sometimes disagree with, often learn from, maybe be offended by... but always respect. The initial incident was one that caused indignation, raised a few temperatures, and led to an understandable but excessive punitive action. The reactions to both the incident [i]and[/i] the ensuing ban were indicative of the maturity and capability of both the In Mates and the Mad Scientists. The fair exchange I read above, to be honest, makes me proud to be an In Mate at the Ozone Asylum, and painfully aware that I have so little to seriously contribute. Having read this thread, I realise that my decision to become a member was a good one. My faith was well placed. I look forward to being able to develop as a responsible member of this community. Hopefully, I will be able to become a more valuable contributor too. Personally, I am glad that Xpirex's ban has been lifted, while hoping that Lacuna and Xpirex can reconcile their differences and interact amicably. Expressing this was not the intention of this post, however. In a sense, I feel that I have witnessed here an example of the manner in which the members of this forum conduct themselves, how members behave towards eachother, and the whole community's potential to evolve. If everybody agreed [i]all the time[/i], the world would be dull and life would be pointless - but understanding and accepting the differences, forgiving transgressions, and showing compassion and respect for other people regardless of their views and deeds (within reason) are all qualities that we aspire to in the name of civilised society. These qualities have been amply demonstrated throughout the forum, and in this thread. I'm glad to meet you [i]all[/i]. ;) [small](Edited by [internallink=21770]White Hawk[/internallink] on 06-30-2004 22:43)[/small] Loading...
