ORIGINAL: Blonderfluff I have a motive for being a mentor. I want this place to gain more regular posters. I want a broader range of ideas and opinions. I want to give that 1 or 2% of new people a chance to get it right. I was new not all that long ago. I had a minor misstep, but had a few people take the time to email me on the other side to show me that there are some REAL people behind these typed words. That is all we are trying to do. I am on Fet as well. I know CM gets a bad rap over there. There is a thread that called the mentors "the shiny, nice people" or something to that effect. You know, I can't change who I am. If I had my way, I'd loooove to be the quick witted bitch. I'm just not made that way. If others think that calling us "coddlers" or "shiny" is an insult, that's fine. I'm nice. So what. As someone said to me "that's what you cheerleading, tennis girls do". So. Those of us that are a part of the new mentor program are trying to help. We are trying to give us a larger body of opinions. We are trying to make it a tad easier for that young person just figuring out that they are not alone. We are trying to give that middle aged person a chance to interact with others who understand. If we gain only one or two regulars out of the dozen new posters, that still leaves 10 or so wankweasels for us to play with. Give them all a shot. If they blow it, have at them. Oh, so over there I'm a 'shiny, nice' people? I may have to disabuse them of that notion. I volunteered for essentially the same reasons, as well as the fact that sometimes I actually feel bad for some of the more clueless ones who stumble in here. I've seen a couple of threads where there was a legit question, only phrased in a way that attracted the resident housecats here to play with the new toy. Some clearly come in with a chip on their shoulder, while others are fresh off a prolonged porn binge. Like Blonderfluff, I'd like to see some fresh faces around these parts.
