A question from a newb....

Introductions are always tricky, since they have this habit of leaving impressions. Said impressions can be for good or for ill, but they exist, nonetheless. This curious facet of social interaction has become one of the more interesting (and, according to many quite daunting) challenges when entering into a community. Especially when the community has a long history and is filled with a variety of individuals who have brought with them any number of helpful contributions, which in turn has the effect of causing a community to become somewhat closely knit, accompanied by a sense of familiarity. Of course, such phenomena also results in a sense of intimidation for those uninitiated who wish to partake in the communal experience, yet feel their relative "newness" to be something of an overwhelming hindrance. Many, it would not be remiss to surmise, find this hindrance so great that it feels better to simply remain in their current status as outsider. The fear of failure or humiliation is perhaps too great. Yet, there are also those who remain on the proverbial outside not out of fear, but for a number of other reasons, most likely as varied as the kinds of snowflakes permeating the globe. Lastly, there are those who decide to throw caution to the wind and enter the fray. It is with this in mind that I pose the following question:

This is the Jedi Council Forum at Force.Net, right? Where everyone talks about Star Wars? If not, I have probably just seriously embarrassed myself. Heck, I probably have anyway, judging from the inaneness above.

 

A interesting introduction, I have to say.
But to answer your question, we are not only talking about Star Wars, but we talk about Star Wars a lot
You haven't embarass yourself, don't worry. I hope you will enjoy your time here.

 

Wow. You should be writing a book! You haven't embarssed yourself, just proved that you sound insanely smart is all! In any case, we do talk about Star Wars quite a bit, but that's not all we do, nope, there's so much more as well. I hope you get to feeling at home soon, as opposed to intimadated. We're not that bad, at least I don't thnk so. I love your user-name by the way!

 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I thought I might try something a little "different" as a way of introducing myself. Hopefully it works as well as I wanted.

 

Welcome, Cannon_Fodder! I was intimidated when I came here, then I saw something familiar and decided to throw caution to the wind. I'm glad I did. I hope that in time you will feel as I do.

 

You're post is very interesting. I believe it is actually an article that is from a book. I believe it is ....the boston herald on socity? I can't remember where I read that but it is definately familiar to me.

None the less, it was a very good introduction and welcome to the insanity that is known as TFN
