Good for you!  Hopefully it will.

Oh, that's good.  I generally don't discuss politics either, except with those who I know are of like mind.  That's too bad, about the flaming.  Hopefully it will get cleaned up.  Some of those people will probably have to be blocked and maybe reported.

Hopefully they will.  I haven't noticed that, but then I haven't been very active on there yet.  I have noticed that the admin on the site seem to really care about what kind of experience people are having on their site, as they sometimes respond to peop...  moreHopefully they will.  I haven't noticed that, but then I haven't been very active on there yet.  I have noticed that the admin on the site seem to really care about what kind of experience people are having on their site, as they sometimes respond to people's questions regarding the site and its features, and they have also added features that people have requested.  So hopefully they'll clean it up.

One thing that I've noticed in general, and not just on social media, is that when it gets close to election time people start arguing a lot more about politics and things can really get ugly.  I don't know if the flaming that you've observed on Similar Worlds has had anything to do with politics or not, but if so, that could be part of the problem.  I'm hoping that after the election is over people won't be fighting so much anymore.  less

If you mean Similar Worlds, yes, I have been using it a little, though it's been a while.  It's still a work in progress, so it doesn't have all the features that EP had yet, but they're working on it.  And it has a couple of features that EP didn't have,...  moreIf you mean Similar Worlds, yes, I have been using it a little, though it's been a while.  It's still a work in progress, so it doesn't have all the features that EP had yet, but they're working on it.  And it has a couple of features that EP didn't have, so it might eventually turn out to be even better.  I just wish it had more people.  But unfortunately a lot of people from EP didn't trust it.  Maybe more of them will now, now that it's fully operational.

I like it, for the most part.  It just needs a little more work and a lot more people.  But it holds great promise.  less

I'm sorry, but I haven't seen him/her here.  I'm afraid I don't see them on Similar Worlds either.  I hope you find them.

I know what you mean.  I've found a few other nice sites (including this one and Similar Worlds), but it's kind of like going to lots of parties and just finding a few of my friends at each one, instead of just going to one big party and finding all my fr...  moreI know what you mean.  I've found a few other nice sites (including this one and Similar Worlds), but it's kind of like going to lots of parties and just finding a few of my friends at each one, instead of just going to one big party and finding all my friends there.

I don't know if EP will ever come back, though.  If it did, I would sign up again, but I'm not holding my breath.  

I understand.  That must have been quite a headache.  I hope that the  new system works out better.  It really is too bad when one bad apple ruins it for everyone else, but it happens sometimes.

I loved that about EP too.  Someone told me that you had to ask to create a new group here and that the admin of the site had to approve it.  But I'm glad to hear that this will be a feature of this site sometime soon.  That's good to know.  :)

I hope that it gets better for you.  I'll say a prayer for you now, that God will guide you and you'll know that He is always with you, whatever situation you may find yourself in.  less

I'm afraid I don't remember zentrooper43, but I was (and am) TeresaRudolph71.  I don't know if you would remember me or not.  But I want to try to stay in touch with my EP friends too, and I'm also open to making new friends.

Thanks.  It's nice to know that someone else understands.  My boyfriend is a basically good person too, and I wouldn't want anyone to think less of him either.

Sometimes, though it's been a while since I've felt that way, thanks to the good friends that I've made over the last couple of years.

But sometimes things happen that I don't feel like I can share with anyone.  If my boyfriend and I are having problems, I don't feel like I should tell anyone because it feels like a betrayal of trust.  But sometimes I feel the need to vent to someone.  Is that a betrayal?  I don't really know.  My intention is never to just bash him, I just sometimes feel the need to vent and get another person's perspective.  But if he ever knew that I was venting to someone else, I know that he would be very upset.  So it's sometimes hard to know what the right thing is to do.

I do have a good relationship with him overall, we just have difficult moments sometimes.  less

Yeah, we're cool like Xer's.  :)
