Hi,Myzen

Chat can be stressful as can this whole site to those new here. When I first started meeting people around the site I quickly got overwhelmed by too much stimulation on top of my already high stress personal situation (Thanks-Wants2fly for pointing that out to me). Several people have noticed that they get a bit stressed out goofy, I sure have. 'Stress Goofiness' can show up in posts or chat and be a bit odd, chaotic, and confusing, even contentious. I thought, "who are these kooky, people", but then soon found myself being at least as goofy in chat, and posts, nervously trying to entertain perhaps. I'm still learning/making mistakes. Oh well, I could use a little fun to lighten the mood. Still it's always nice to hear those voices of caring, helpful logic, and reason, that aren't in that kind of mood. I suspect that the idea is to build a diverse and caring community while still actually helping people grow.

Ps.-Tuesday night's chat in the context of the last two questions of the week (Politics, and Personal Guiding Principles, with the rules temporarily suspended), got wild as it sometimes does. I'm sure I made mistakes. Hopefully it felt more stress relieving than painful to everyone. I hope no one was felt hurt.
