Yes, the chat room does ebb and flow... remember, not everyone is in the same time zone as you <font color="blue">

and, no personal offense, but you are new. So are many other now active members in the chat room. The site is growing faster than it seems to have in the past, which also makes it more difficult for some to acclimate. This isn't about you, it's about members here on the site. It's about fearing change, and newcomers... for some... until they can be assured of it being "safe."<font color="green"> I'm sure there are many who are eager to chat...<font color="purple">

There's no fault, no blame... it's ppl doing what's in their best interest regarding them and their disorders. There's no way any one of us can say, ok so-and-so member is "safe" because that term means so many different things to different members. Each one has to try the waters and make sure it's ok for them.<font color="gray">

I've thought about answering you in a PM, but figured that you're a pretty smart member, and if you questioned, then there would be others who had also... hope you don't mind.

Again, it isn't about "you"...it takes some members longer to "warm up" to strangers (are not as gregarious as others of us!) See you in chat soon!
