Hello,
It’s been a while… I doubt many (any) will remember me, even though I joined ATS in 2008 I was very on and off with posting on the old site. Sometimes I would post daily other times it was years between posts. Anyway not that it matters. I have been lurking in this site for a bit and decided to sign up after being impressed by this new site and most importantly some of the members contributions.
There will be some members who I won’t engage with because I’ve been down that road many times before and my time is simply to precious. Saying that I know what I’m like for getting involved in subjects I care deeply about. So who knows. But hopefully I’m a little wiser and at least know when not to beat a dead horse;)
I would also like to say a big thank you to the members that have educated me on so many things I was ignorant of. :) I know I still have lots to learn and if there’s anything I’ve truly learnt it’s that ultimately I know nothing, that is nothing of what makes people tick, who they are or why they think the way they do. I’m sure though if I had their lived experience, I would think the same way. (more or less) So with that in mind I try not to get angry with people anymore or be judgmental. I simply don’t know what they are going through, or what just triggered them to act or say things they do. There are exemptions to every rule of course, and some will benefit from being knocked down a peg or two.
That’s enough rambling on from me, see you in the forums. :)
