I see a lot more friendships developing around positive inspiration and simple shared experience outside the Advocacy and Safety forum. Inside, it's often a boiling cauldron of ill-feelings toward one another.

I'm not sure anything's being solved at all, no enlightenment, no inspiration.
That was my impression too. But then several A&S polls indicated that quite a few people felt they were learning stuff here. So I press on. It's mostly a thankless journey, however.
