Hi xara,

I'm not sure I would have appreciated a reading of the rules when I first entered this forum. I loved jiggling about and trying to find my footing. When you jump into something, feet-first and unafraid, aren’t you more apt to be yourself in that context.

If rules are pushed upon you from the start, they can make the forum seem rigid and uninviting – two things that AWAD Talk is evidently not. A person that is not of the character to self impose rules of civility would not follow those rules anyway.
