for a lot of us, Warlight helped us in life and tought us actual lesions that needed to be learned. for me, WL helped me with much. the loss of my mother, sharpening my debate skills, and just learning how to be a better person in general. ....
Good to hear of your positive experiences here, Conservative. I tend to find that open communities, while often containing lots of trolling and/or flame warring, are the best kind of communities for personal growth. IMO, it's better to be exposed to all sorts of different people and opinions and ideas, including all the good, the bad, and the ugly, than to stay confined to an overly 'safe' or narrow or closed group/community.
Cheers!
