Do you care ??

I care.

An online community is like any other with a cross-section of people all with a myriad of different needs and intentions. True, some of those are incompatible with me and vice versa but there’s nothing wrong with that. Stripping out those mismatches, I believe there remain many genuine individuals who have ideas I want to hear, jokes I want to laugh at, experiences to guide me and the humanity to offer heartfelt support when life challenges us. I believe it’s a fundamental human need to connect in this way and how could I possibly say that a connection with them is somehow less because I type and read rather than talk and listen? It’s about the intention behind the words and I know that mine, and plenty of others, are genuine. So yes, I do care and I’m glad to have the chance to be a part of this community.

It would be weird to keep coming back to a site if you don't care. What would be the point? Perhaps shit stirring, but I haven't engaged in a dialogue with those people, as far as I know. I probably care more for people I interact with often, especially those who I have met in real time. There are many I know in real time with whom I would love to spend more time (geographically challenging).
