Well, Ray, this *is* the personals section and I think he gave a perfectly nice little introduction. Honest and up front, but not "Why isn't anyone messaging me? I'm SCI, you all should be drooling over me" That's the sort of post that gets reminders that we're looking for compatible partners, not just anyone at all in a wheelchair.

There seems to be a really clear objection to ppl actually making any connections all over this forum, even though its a devotee / para forum, WITH a "personals" section. I dont get why it's such a fopar (or anyone elses business) if any members want to hook up. I mean, if you met someone on Facebook or Yahoo, does Facebook or Yahoo have any right to tell you your not allowed to ASSOCCIATE? Neither this forum nor Facebook nor Yahoo suggest you WILL meet anyone, but its a freedom of conversation and PERSONAL CHOICE, isnt it?

There's a balance to be struck, I'm sure.
On the one side, this isn't designed as a dating site and we do find ourselves frequently reminding people not to be stunned or hurt if they don't get a lot of people wanting to connect in that way. Only a handful of us are single and even then we're mostly here to connect with other devs and have a place to express ourselves.
On the other side, people do meet and start relationships from the board and there is a separate section to support that, to let people know if that is what you want. Nothing wrong with it!
So yeah, tell people a little about yourself, offer to chat, and leave it at that! You don't get yelled at for that. This is the place for it. As others have said, you probably won't get any message back if what you're doing it PMing people and saying something like, "Hey, I'm disabled, we should hook up."

I was here over five years before I even opened that door... so... *shrug* Darn inaccessible doors... That's why I like the ones with the sensors... like at the mall.
