As a new member, I can say Random Thoughts has helped me get to know a lot of people on here and develop a good relationship with some or a better understanding of others.
A lot of us actually have a good sense of humour and when comments are made they are mostly just jokes, because we get it each other. Sometimes, a superiority complex is just as bad as people acting like fools.
I can write paragraph on paragraph about a subject matter at hand, but it just becomes exhausting after a while. Variety is what makes this place enjoyable. I mean, I made a passing comment about a wig and got a 4 page letter about how I was exploiting a culture and being racist, and i'm sitting here looking in the mirror, shaking my head.
I also saw one of my favourite members post about how they have had a really tough week and this place has been some light relief for them. That's a great tool for somebody to be able to get away from the craziness of daily life and just have an outlet. Throwing down loads of rules is ok, this place does need to be a controlled environment, but I would rather not have all the fun sucked out of PJ.
I also don't think this forum is in half as bad shape as it is being made out to be.
