A bunch of us came here from Askville, when too much drama was happening there. This was the kind of place Askville had been, and so quite a few of us stayed.
I like answering questions. I like saying things and having people appear to take me seriously. It is a novel experience and one I don’t seem to be able to get enough of. I like thinking about things and refining my thinking about issues that keep coming back.
I used to make friendships here, but I had a bad experience with one of those, so I’ve stopped doing that. Funny thing. It used to be that people would fall out of cracks in the walls when I was open to such things. Now that I’m not, no one talks to me at all (privately, I mean). At least, not about anything of personal importance.
I guess my point is that at one time this served as a place to make friends. It is no longer that way for me, any more, and sometimes I miss that. It is still worth it for other reasons, though.
