Well, you don't have to reveal yourself to the outside world for that to happen. You don't even have to leave this forum for that attempt to be made! But that wouldn't bother Che, and it doesn't bother me either!

It is, though, largely a good sense of community on this forum as Blackbird says. I wouldn't call this an illusion as he did though, as it can be as real as we choose to make it. I think it succeeds much more than it fails.

As for the prejudiced, ignorant judgements of society that this thread was dealing with, well, after the first couple were put on Earth (Adam and Eve) the first Puritan (God) was put on Earth to waggle His judgemental finger at them. Things haven't changed much!

But I wish society as a whole possessed the open mind of so many on this forum. It would be so much more an healthy place to live in.
