Lol - Don, I have a bit of a routine; I check my mails, runs through the answered posts that are there, look at the new posts then post any I might want to. Usually at some point midway I'm composing what I want to post when I get there. Today; you sorta beat me to my subject! Some of you guys here are newer (like 1-4 months), and probably don't know me and the way I comment that well. Others (like Misha, the ugly argumentative one) know exactly what I'm like and treat me with the appropriate disrespect that I deserve. Anyways, the reason you newer ones DON'T know me so well is because a few months back I thought the forum was becoming.....well, boring. Oh, and because some upright new member took offense to a repost of one of my pics concerning a Barbie doll and a Ken doll becuase they obviously thought that childrens toys have both genetalia and sexual urges and decided to call the Picture Police in. (Check out Most Viewings under 'mjshepherd' - damned if I'm posting it AGAIN...). Lately, though, it's starting to become the way it was about a year ago, and that's like a bit of proper community. As a forum we're all pretty chilled. Check out some of the others - you'll see we're calm and easy here. Which also means that we should (and do) feel comfortable to speak our minds. But first and foremost, we are here to enjoy ourselves. I'm sure if we get out of hand the Mods will spank us thoroughly (why else do I misbehave?) and bring us back into line. But I don't think we will, y'know....... And yes, things have become gritty lately - because we've been picking on a couple of subjects people don't quite see eye to eye on. But we're all grown up now, and I presume we know that the world doesn't revolve around us. (Well, you anyways. ME? different matter.) I enjoy being here again. It's fun. (",)
