I owe someone not an apology or a retraction, but a thank you. For two years I've lurked on this board, ever since I decided I wanted to learn about the BDSM lifestyle instead of just fantasize. I found a wonderful place here to learn and I sat back and soaked it all in. However, not being a very outgoing person either online or in real life, I never really felt a part of everything. I avoided posting because I didn't feel like I had anything worth saying. I racked up a whole 380-some posts in two years. I know some who have managed that in their first month.
However, in reading through the drama on the board from the past few days, I realized something. I'm not quite the outsider I thought I was. I have a lot to offer, and a lot in common with many of the regular posters on here. The sensibility in the posts, even through the silliness and joking, blew me away. I've finally opened up and allowed my voice to be heard. I've posted around 40 times since Saturday, and I feel like my opinion is actually worth something. I know none of us agree on everything all of the time, but the common sense I see here just reinforces that I really have chosen the right place to help me learn and grow.
And so, unnamed drama queen, I thank you. Thank you for showing me how really awesome these guys are.
PS. I was the friend in Snooze's "Need prayers and well wishes" thread. Thanks so much for everyone who posted their caring thoughts there. Every test has come back negative so far.
