I think people don't get it.
They don't get the notion of what a 'community' means. Being part of a community doesn't mean doing business, it doesn't mean being rude, and it doesn't mean you are hip on everyone in the community.
Community, particularly a community that is outside the social norm and misunderstood by many, means that you have respect for one another, basic respect. If someone says hello to you, you say hello back. FYI, "Hello" doesn't mean 'let's fuck', it means hello. If you don't want to say something beyond that, it's cool to respond that way too.
If you don't want to be part of a community, why are you? |
