This thread is funny. When Kitty started it up, I wanted to rush in and post a love note. I said a buncha stuff, then felt like I said too much, so I took it back. which is wrong to do. Today got people talking about why they come here, and why they love this site and how mean and stupid people can be. This thread shows how people feel comfortable with one another. You can tell people things here that you probably wouldn't talk loudly about otherwise. It's bigger than movies, like it or not. People gripe. whine. twist words. misunderstand. overstate the overstated. stubborn. People don't often give in. Some laugh and flirt. vent. I think some cry.
The downside is that when you lay yourself bare, you're susceptible to ugliness. But if you know how the majority of this MB acts, you go ahead on. About 200 of the same people login daily. Even more lurk. I understand now, even more than a month ago, how you get attached. How you want to read what the other person says. How you want to tell a joke to make them laugh. How you get crushed when that trust is betrayed so viciously. How you want to make someone feel better. Do you have a voice in your head for regular Chewers that you've never met or talked to? I do. Is that crazy? Is it crazy when people meet on a MB like this and get married. It's happened.
Read threads like this when you get mad at a Chewer. Keep your thick skin and your sense of humor. Keep typing what you feel. For every person who attacks you or makes you feel small, there's probably a thousand who identify and are glad you spoke. Don't regret sharing with people. Don't let anybody mess it up for you.
