I give you a wooden cutout of a dragon. A European-style dragon. If you push the button, it shoots real flames! And plays a prerecorded sound of a person yelling "Mr. Rogers! Mr. Rogers! Definitely safe to carry around; what are you talking about.
Your concerns about joining communities. . . seem very, very valid to me. I won't say that we don't have problems, but we're a good bit politer and more honestly invested in resolving them than anywhere else I've been. Have you read our Constitution? We tend to follow that. We're definitely not at the point of death threats (unless I'm missing something huge).
Star Trek! . . . funny story there; my friend and I decided we'd watch all of Star Trek in order of airdate this summer (we're on season 3 of TOS; regrets abound but we're not stopping) and I decided that I couldn't bring myself to ask for Permission to write for the PPC without creating and developing a Vulcan agent (scrapping two perfectly good non-Vulcans in the process). And because I am an Endless Fount of Bad Ideas and Overplanning, I have decided that I need to figure out the day-to-day workings of Vulcan biology (no, not that kind. Along the lines of how often do they usually eat). . . anyway what I'm saying is that if talking about this kind of thing is your idea of fun, click my username; it'll give you my email (if you don't want to, no worries -- if I needed someone, I'd post a general call to the Board. Just if you're bored and want an excuse to come up with elaborate Star Trek headcanons, or to befriend one of the less-shiny and new Boarders).
