• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    I agree that there's a boundary on the language people are supposed to use, and that being directly insulting is one thing, but what if my triggers come from the word "salmon"? Or "skyscraper"? What if I am altophobic and cannot deal with the idea of cliffs or skyscrapers and it sends me into...

    I am not sure in how far the last paragraph applies to myself, but other than that I agree 100% with this post.
