Thanks Doc John & Jimi. I'm pretty sure I can handle myself now & was only relaying my (very) limited experience. I have never been on chat anywhere in life, so it was a learning experience. Thanks for that!

You are correct, it is not for everyone. In my case, I observed for awhile, tried to steer the conversation gently but was unsuccessful and left. No harm, no foul. It didn't harm me, it just wasn't helpful. I needed support. That's all.

I don't want to inhibit anyone, & think I did the right thing by leaving the party. It didn't occur to me to report what others were clearly enjoying.

I am so glad the rooms are more clearly defined now. If the rules are followed it will make all the hard work worthwhile & make it a better place for everyone.

Thanks to those who worked on this. You are appreciated.
