Nikki,
Speaking for myself only, nothing you or anyone else has said regarding this thread or any of the Lumptonian threads have either hurt my feelings or put me on the defensive.
I pay attention to what's said whether pro or con and try to consider it objectively. I think different perspectives on these things are good for us and you telling us that you felt excluded from a group is something we needed to hear.
As I mentioned before, I don't believe it was ever the intention of any involved with the Lumptonian thread to have an exclusive group. We simply didn't realize some felt shut out.
I've said Lumptonia was open to all interested in participating and that is not born out of defensiveness, but out of invitation.
Like I believe Shar said, Lumptonia is an acquired taste and not necessarily for everyone, but for that reason only would it not be for everyone. Otherwise, it is wide open.
I can think of nothing that any Lumptonian would enjoy more than to see the ranks of Lumptonian citizens swell to several million and then have a Lump-in at the U.N.
