I just had a conversation with a fellow Mingler about a controversial thread. This person brought up the idea that it almost seemed like a cheap way to get ideas for a thesis or something. I don't have a problem with that, But if someone is using the threads in this way, Don't you think they should be straight up about it? Now, Talk amongst yourselves....

I don't think that people are always straight up about their reasons for being here regardless. As long as it is not to harm what difference should it make. The noble endeavor to study human interaction in an online forum is as good a reason as any. Why are any of us here; to find true love?
