I Love My Ep Friends

I like your greeting, nice work MaryJanine :)

Thanks for understanding. Not everyone understands the way you do.

Well, I been here a long ole time. Only just really started to realise I could be building an audience and doing something really meaningful with this place. Always knew I wanted to reach out to thousands or millions. Never realised I had the potential here.

You do, my friend,you do. But I get all types of people who ask if I am into "spanking" or have any "spanking friends" or specify they want a "horny woman to chat with". There are a few unprintable comments I get that I think just try to shock me. I am no prude, but I wouldn't kiss my mother with a mouth like some of these come back with. EP support tells me to report such people, but if I eliminated everyone who spoke to me that way, that (elimination) is all I'd DO all day.

Hmm I sort of know what you mean, though thankfully I left the adult side of this site behind a long time ago, when some kind souls saw through me and helped me out.

Here's my greeting, I just wrote it and greeted a few newbies, remembering I signed up to be a volunteer some time ago.... *^_^*


Hello and welcome to the wonderful world of EP. I've been here a while, and I've taken to highlighting a few of the great things about the site.

The very best feeling in the world is when you get to find someone who's been through something and can truly relate to your darkest horrors, or your deepest delights. There's two ways to do that - search for them, or write about yours and let them come to you. It doesn't happen straight away, especially if you post to groups with only a few members. But it definitely *does* happen.

The only way for it to happen is if you respond to them. Most users here are friendly, genuine and only here to help. Sometimes that help can come in the form of a harsh truth, as they see it. It can hurt, and be misdirected. But they are doing it with you in mind - and from their own background, which you are also not at liberty to judge.

So be bold, interact with others as much as you feel comfortable with, remember to respect everyone's wishes within the terms of service of Experience Project (they're not that long actually, worth reading) and I hope to see stories from you guys soon.

Any questions or if you feel vulnerable at any point, please ask :)

All the best, CoL

I don't mind the "mild adult" comments - much (to each his own, I say) but I don't like the "spanking" references from people I don't even know. What I say and do on that subject is MY business, and if I want to share it, it is MY privilege. I do like your greeting, however. You tell it like it is.


MaryJanine.

absolutely agree. This is a space in which freedom unfortunately is granted in a world of addiction and where the responsibility of freedom has never been taught to those who wield it :( Thanks for your feedback!

And you for yours. I wish people would realize they should become acquainted with others before they start asking such intimate questions.

MaryJanine.
