So this is why I love every single one of you glorious b******s on this forum, because in this place, even the rowdiest, most foul-mouthed, loud and crudest person can find a space where they’re accepted. As long as you’re not downright offensive or mean to people, the tolerance and acceptance here surpasses any other forum I’ve ever inhabited. This is the place where everyone drinks with everyone, where anyone’s invited to share and participate with your own style and voice, whatever it is and wherever it’s coming from, where you’re not judged just because you’re not a specific type of person and where disco jams with techno while Mozart plays the Digitone together with Jean-Michel Jarre’s OP-1 jam.
It’s not difficult to practice compassion and tolerance when you invite people who think and act like you do. It’s a monumental challenge to do the same, when you let all kinds in and accept them still.
So the Oscar for being decent and human in a time where it’s called for more than ever, goes in no particular order to all the members on this forum, cause you’re great just the way you are. And to the moderators, for allowing us to stay great, just the way we are. And to Elektron, for giving this forum a place to stay.
