Bumpity Bump!
Hey folks - Please read the first post in this thread! This is a thread centering around the request for our community to be super welcoming to newbies and also to lay down our defenses if someone appears to say something clumsy or that you feel offended by. Many times, people are merely speaking from their place and they don't have the long history of language and definers that we all have with one another and I'd hate for someone to feel unwelcome for not phrasing something correctly or in the framework of "how we do things 'round here". Let's all remember that this Planet is only as good as we make it and that our bubbles of experience here on the Planet are not "the" experience. We all come from different places and we can learn just as much from newbies as they can learn from us. Thanks to you all who make this a welcoming and diverse place! xo

We proved in Little Rock that we can do this in real time. When you forget how to do it in cyber, read this again. Or, read this Reunion 2011 thread to recall/learn what it means to be this way in face-to-face AND cyber. And read every word on every page. Love you. Me. |

I happened to see Medusa bumped this thread just before I left for work this morning. I was hoping when I came back from work, I'd see some new posts here and read what was on the minds of others. Is there no one that hasn't posted in this thread interested in adding their 2 cents. I happen to think community is important. Especially for those of us that don't really have any around us where we live. Also, with the Reunion coming real soon, many of us will get a chance to see and meet those that have been posting in this community. Those that have voiced their opinions in many ways. Those that aren't as bold, but feel what they write in a post may help another. Those that post that may have different opinions than others. Just know, everyone that posts in threads matters to someone here, even if another comes and corrects you or asks you to explain yourself. We have such an awesome community here at The Planet and I for one, always look forward to reading what others write anytime I'm in any thread.
So, to the newbies and those that have been here awhile or forever, lol...please post, I want to read what you hagve to write.

Well said Wolfy. I am very happy this thread has been bumped. I believe very strongly that new people should be welcomed and given the chance to get their sea legs.
We were all new once, and most people do not have a lot of real time butch femme community where they live. Those that do often find out about these communities or groups of friends from being on a site like this. If someone seems harmful you can give a heads up to the owners and moderators. Otherwise why not just give people a chance and time to get the hang of things. Community is important for all of us.

I've never seen this thread before so I'm glad Admins, Wolfy, BullDog and Arwen have bumped it.
I know for me I signed up and just sailed in, forgetting about cultural differences - I feel that sometimes there's an assumption that we all share the same cultural information. We don't. I don't. And, if a member doesn't seem particularly knowledgeable, it doesn't mean that they don't know anything. Anyways, I'm happy to be here, made friends (I think - hope!). Certainly learnt some new stuff which is especially great living in a conservative country with inconsistent and hostile censorship regulations.
