Wow. Like a time machine. I recognize the names but had no idea of all the drama happening in front of my face behind the screen in the background. Was too busy until recent years to get anywhere near deeply involved in any website. Was travelling extensively with only hit and miss access to the internet.
For me, it all about fun ... and admittedly lately, there is a feeling of remote affection, affiliation, and comradery. But no, I never took anything seriously enough to care, or to get mad, or to be upset.
TBR is a mental release for me. Really had no clue about all the histories and politics behind the scenes because, I just don't take it like that. Never have. This post holds lots of surprises for my naïve little brain. I really did not know any of this stuff was going on. Reading this, have to say, I am glad to be on the outside looking in.
