I think a lot of has to do with how you view the Org and what you want/expect from it. | |

I think it is healthy for people to step beyond themselves and risk being known.... If that process begins here then great. Helps us to see we are all greatly wanting the same thing, to be accepted for who we are (and that we always won't be) AND THAT'S OK!
It also creates tolerance for difference in my opinion. I'd also dare to say that people around here are vastly more aware of people around the world and culture differences are better understood then by the average person in their local cities. How does one become comfortable? I'd suppose a little bit at a time and then by facing a little bit of scrutiny and surviving it. You realize that its not gonna kill you after all. As for the friendships they aren't isolated to online contact. Some of the greatest friendships I have known were forged on this site.... Including yourself and Chris. Final thought: I don't say anything in any environment that isn't able to be said in all. You could print all this and publish it. Heck most the people in my world have seen it anyway. Whap!

I used to be much more open here on the org until a fellow orger completely ripped that sense of safety out from under me. Now I am much more careful about what things I tell people. I use better discretion in giving out my phone number, address, or real name. I don't meet orgers I feel uncomfortable meeting. What a lovely wake-up call.
But, that wasn't really answering your question, dex. The org is all about people talking talking talking, mostly to ourselves. It's strange because I have posted shit in the past and completely forgotten about it and then another orger has brought it up in conversation and I'm like "  how did they know about that?!" It's easy to forget we all have histories here and others, whether we like it or not, will remember them.I mean, like, where is the sun? | |

Great thread, Dex - five whaps for that!
I was not that comfortable posting at first - I rarely posted for the first several months on here. But then I began reading posts that really interested me and I made some positive connections with other Orgers and now I feel totally comfortable - and like Muse said, once you've been scrutinized and survived it... well, it's all par for the course after that, I suppose. I know that everyone initially comes here because they are Prince fans - but what a great place it is to interact, have intelligenct (and silly) discussions and truly forge some genuine friendships. Admittedly, I was nervous going to my first Org "gathering," but it was such a lovely experience and everyone was so incredibly nice and charming and witty... what a wonderful community we have here!

I reveal a lot here because I reveal a lot in real life. I don't think I'm any different in person than I am on the org. I don't have any secrets. (actually only one, my dad doesn't know I smoke on occassion.)

Why not? Sometimes I'll be open, sometimes I'll hold things back. Just depends how I feel at the time, who's posting, orgnothing or whatever. I don't really see a problem with posting personal stuff sometimes. It's nice to be known as a person rather than just a screen name and sometimes posting little honest bits and bobs here and there makes that happen. | |

I don't think it's such a big deal,plus I only wanna be with People who are Fun and Non Judgemental. I Hate STUFFED SHIRTS! I also think people should be honest and talk about issues freely. It doesn't really Amount to all that Much. Look at SUE JOHANSON, DR JUDY KURIANSKI, DR RUTH.... Talking about Sex should Not Be so TABOO. Doesn't Mean ya Gonna get down with Everyone,but ya can Talk about Sex and Race Issues are Also Very IMPORTANT and POLITICS and AIDS.

I used to hang shit on you when you were Natasha for your unashamedly open posting, but now I've come to appreciate it. | |

i'm pretty private. i'm the same way here as i am in R/L. i'll be happy to talk about the issues at length, but my private life is my private life, and people (here and in R/L) know relatively little about it.

Beautiful Responses People!!! 
I am here for all the energy I have just read above! Yes we all Prince Fans...and all the lively spirits and souls here are just wonderful to experience!! I have had my run-ins, drama, arguments, relationships, stalkers, YOU NAME IT, but the one thing I have truly experienced here is RESPECT Respect is abound here. Respect and acceptance for every walk of life! Almost every person I have had run ins with I am totally their friend right now. I have had the pleasure of having met so many of you over the years and can't say how much I look forward to meeting even more of you. I created this thread to see EXACTLY what I am reading here! Love! Humor! Memories! HUMANITY!!! Damn....I done lost my buzz fuckin' around with you people!!

I'm very careful what I post and do not post here. Emotions tend 2 b heightened on-line, but it's important 2 remember we're all here 2 have a good time. It's entertainment. That is how I view it and how I play here. Like most things on-line and in real life, it can b a lot of fun if U don't take it 2 seriously.
