Dear Bach, as I am new here, I must go by your advice. Please delete whatever realia you feel is appropriate. I will henceforward go by the name Didaskalos, here & at Boychat. Thank you all for your brotherly attention. In reading about Christians in the First Century, or homosexuals in the 1950's, I am always struck by the coziness of there being only a certain number of people 'in it.' I always felt wistful as a "gay" kid in the 80's, since it was no big deal, and that sense of cameraderie was gone. But I have become very fond, in these two life-changing weeks, of the community here. Bruce Stirling was heard to say of the Internet, It ain't no Amish barn-raising going on in there! but I think our community here IS a good example of community building. Note to d - This is indeed an "activated" time for me, as we say in our M-D jargon. Doubtless my inhibitions are down & my posting too effusive for my own good. Thanks again for being thoughtful of me, since I only checked out the Nichols site recently. Now I have a little bit more of an idea of why everyone is so paranoid. Indeed, I am out as a ("safe" & "harmless") pedophile to my church, (that is, one committed to Platonic expression of admiration for boys,) and am pretty open in my admiration of my boy students, but the administration is notoriously touchy. And yet, I AM a Greek teacher, and we ARE traditionally supposed to be sentimental over our boys..... Gotta plan Monday's lessons - Adios. Didaskalos |
