Some of them do Marlene. Depends on where you go. However, the censorship/freedom of speech issue always seems to come up, people are outsted and members leave, that my dear is everywhere. Dunno what my plans are at this point. I honestly think this forum is one of the reasons I keep returning here. Posting isn't such an issue for me anymore, I guess for a while it was... sigh I have met some wonderful people both here and in other communities, that have taught me lots. One of the other sites that I belonged to had oodles of talent, it was like a back patting service, you tell me how good my work is and I tell you how good yours is. The ones that were mediocre or needed improvement were lucky to be acknowledged. I guess it is pretty much the same all over. The question now is do I want to continue to participate? Yeah for now I will anyway, we shall see. While my father was in the hospital last January through June, two men stood out amongst everyone, one emailed me on the average of once a week sending his thoughts and prayers and would always ask how I was doing, how dad was doing and when I was coming back to post again. I later found out that he is a clergyman, we still email back and forth even though I haven't posted in that community in some time. The other man is one of Rosity's own, he kept me company on my long drives to Gainesville every friday night after work, keeping me awake for the drive, three and four hour phone calls on friday for the ride there and sunday for the ride back were not uncommon. I guess you could say I have made some long term good friendships in most every community where I have been. I hope my ramble answered your questions! Brenda :)
