Due to recent events on the entire Dimensions Forum, I have brought up a discussion on The Main Dimensions Board about a sort of 'separation' within the Dimensions community. I have seen many of you post that you feel out of place or unwelcome in the rest of the boards, and I'm trying to find out why that is and how it can be handled.
I have become aware that at one point in time, many "BHM's" and "FFA's" requested their own board to talk about their own topics, issues and concerns. Is it possible that over the course of time the placement of this board has acted as a catalyst to your (general 'you') unwelcome feelings? Is it that you only wish to talk about the different aspects of life with fat men [and their admirers] and would like it to continue to be the way it is?
If you do feel unwelcome or out of place in the rest of this community, would you be willing to participate more within the other Boards and threads, acting as firestarters to have a more universally welcome community all-together?
I would really like your input. I am basing all of this on the repeated posts by many of you stating that you feel marginalized, unwelcome, out of place, and confined within your own Board. If I am over-stepping my boundaries, please tell me to leave you alone if that is the case.
Please participate in this discussion if you are willing (here or in the thread I made on The Main Dimensions Board). My goal is to help everyone feel more welcome here, and try to get rid of the "us vs. them" aspect.
