It occurs to me, reading through various posts over the years here, that this is a very special place for all our members for a variety of reasons, some obvious and some not so obvious.
Recently, I came across some posts in "IF THE FEDORA LOUNGE WERE A REAL PLACE," that made it clear that some of our members are painfully shy in public. But 'here' they are freed of those inhibitions and can be themselves to express themselves to the friends they have made in here.
Hopefully, that growth in confidence among some will be extended to a point where they can physically join in and meet with their friends at an FL event.
Now isn't that pretty amazing?
And I dare say, that some who considers themselves 'nobodies' out in the cold harsh modern world, can consider themselves real 'somebodies' in here and feel proud of that. They feel respected and listened to, which is what they deserve, but maybe just don't feel they get in their own home/work lives.
We have members who are retired and maybe don't feel they get the respect that they should get for the years they have put into their community or country and there are others still of high school or college age, who again because of their age are looked down upon by older members of their communities [huh]
But.. in here, we treat all our members with the same respect and total inclusion, irrespective of their age, sex, nationality, creed, gender, religion, background or any other multitude of things that are devisive by others to separate and exclude.
This is what makes this corner bar of the WWW so special :eusa_clap
"Here Endeth the Lesson [huh] "
