  We keep returning of course, to the multi-tasked, multi-faceted minestrone soup that is Tranny Web because it entertains, enlightens and exacerbates us when we need to communicate and have contact with like-minded souls. Like the best Minestrone soup of course, there is a lot of hot broth and gossip and the odd bit of grissely (sp?) stuff floating around that is unidentifiable and occasionally hard to swallow, but encouraged by the niceness of everything else you swallow another dosage.
  
  Such a shame that occasionally the content of TWeb irritates, because it undermines the real value of the community and can discourage you from visiting. Most boring and dispiriting are echoes of previous petty conversations. These really can infuriate.
  
  But it’s difficult to condemn individuals, because who are we to judge? I for one know that I’m not 100% confident in my own personality, that I’m not 100% balanced. I wish I was, but I’m me and I’m stuck with him/her.
  
  I’ve considered leaving TWeb recently because I’ve felt removed from the site, slightly remote because of the vagueness of my own commitment and the weight of questions that I carry. Boy, I wish I was a happy girl rather than a mixed-up man.. Then of course, I read a thread and feel empathy and warmth for the girls who attempt to reason, who embrace through correspondence and who chide in chorus. I also feel sympathy for the people here who struggle to engage, who seek attention in a child-like way, and who appear to spin around slightly out-of-kilter with the planet’s orbit. I feel sympathy because perhaps we all suffer from that a little, because of what we are.
  
  So keep an open mind over the weekend at least, shut out this week and look forward to next week with optimism. It might just surprise you.
