Welcome
to our chat room. This is a multi-purpose venue, used to host
our classes, workshops, chats and other events. The rest of the time it
serves to tie our community together. It allows clients to keep
touch with Diar, Fyre and each other. It also allows new visitors
to integrate into the site's community and to see, first-hand,
how we work.
Readings
given in the Chat Room are informal and their length is at our
discretion. This is not a paid service. It is, rather, an opportunity
for us to give something back, and to be there for you, the
users. Please do not abuse the service.
There
is no reading list. This is not a first come first serve room.
Rather those who have not been read recently will be given precedence
over members who are coming and being read every session. New
users will also be given preference, again at our discretion.
Feel
free to hang out in the room and converse with each other at
any time of the day. But there is no advantage to coming and
sitting in the room just to be first in line for a reading.
It just does not work that way.
Please
be civil and considerate of each other and of the reader. Abusive
behaviour will not be tolerated. Allowances are made for those
of you who may be having a bad day -- but only to a point. Please
take your aggression elsewhere. Go for a walk, take a hot bath,
or vent in a more appropriate manner. A set of darts and a picture
of the politician of your choice is recommended.
There
are few formal rules but we ask that you obey them. Keep it
clean. You never know who's reading the chat over someone else's
shoulder. We are not going to censor the chat, nor dictate what
is appropriate language. However, it would be wise to limit
'adult conversation' when new members are visiting. The most
appropriate place for such comments would be a chat party purchased
for you and your friends.
Above
all try to have fun. Enter with mirth and joy, humour and reverence,
peace and understanding. We can support and encourage each other,
and in so doing we may help each other grow.
