Always try to remember that this Forum is about People expressing their opinions. Otherwise it would look a lot like some well known Conservative Talk Show where all we have is Clones agreeing with The Self-Proclaimed Guru of Conservative Thought.

If you stick around, you will get lots and lots of people not agreeing with you. (Just as some will disagree with me) But, with A Forum like this you also achieve "Discourse." As you already stated, we learn a lot from listening to The Ideas of others.

That Poetry, (in my opinion) was pretty mild. If you choose to take on a controversial subject like: "Why it's good for me to stay in The Closet," I would be shocked if you didn't get a lot of disagreement.

I have been in charge of CD Groups, worked on many CD and TG Projects in and around my area. One thing I can tell you for absolute fact! "If your looking for consensus among The Transgendered.....please don't hold your breath while your waiting." Getting agreement on Anything within our Community is just about like Herding Cats. It ain't gonna work."

Please don't be offended, most of the time around here it's pretty civil. That, is light-years better than most of the other stuff out there that passes for The Term "Forum."

Peace and Love, Joanie
