Who Goes There?

recluse · 02-23-2010, 01:20 AM

You invite me to join your 'family',
without any knowledge of who or
what I am. Don't you think that
the Internet is the last place one
should consider embracing a
stranger? This is not a safe haven
for the trusting. However, I thank youfor the kind offer.

You are very welcome.

Hi & welcome to MR. Hope you feel safe here among lovers of the written word

recluse - our MR internet family welcomes lovers of books, ebooks, ereaders, and the written word in all guises. The mods are quite vigilant in recognizing and removing dangerous or offensive folk that would disrupt or upset members. So I would say MR practices careful trust. You can be totally anonymous or reach out to other members - it's totally up to you and your comfort level.

...on one condition: NO GROUP THERAPY! They still can't find the last bunch that went wandering around in my head. I do have one question: are the cat pictures a requirement? I understand that they are considered cute in certain circles. I'm not wired for cute.

Katti's Cat · 02-24-2010, 02:03 AM

Lol no worries, we don't do therapy here - although we probably should. Seems we are all candidates one way or the other.

You don't have to do cute - others do it in spades so you are excused. Use whatever pic you want - scorpions do have some appeal too. Somewhere I think.

We do have a resident pshrynk - but we don't want to lose him in your head (or anywhere). Cat pictures can grow on you - be vigilant!

Sorry, we don't do Group Therapy here; it's every man, woman, cat and dog for themselves ......

It's the Zombie Therapy you have to watch out for.

But once they've eaten your brain it is a moot point anyway, which is why the zombies dont get much therapy, .... hmm, which could explain the whole brain eating thing, sort of a vicious circle.

Regardless, eat, drink, post, enjoy the lounge. I think there are some other forums around here somewhere too.
