Fascinating to watch the cycle of membership here at AC.
Some lurk and peer into our "realm", shy and wary...some blast through with unbridled enthusiasm and find themselves embroiled in debate before they've even selected an avatar. Many seek social and intellectual sanctuary here, and are rarely disappointed.
And then there are the "gems" among us, those who have no hidden agenda, no ill-will whatsoever. The fine minds, the online philosophers, the grassroots revolutionaries who take the time to formulate and share something unique, something positive in the interest of progressive Black thought.
We must encourage these folks in particular...to stay the course regardless of any "bumps in the road".
The quality of the site rests on our ability to transcend ego and petty personal differences...to focus on analysis and balanced discourse...in the best interest of our People.
Dig it.
