The point of an introduction at most sites is to announce your arrival. We don't get alot of new members here, so that isn't the case at KH. The purpose of an intro here, is for first impressions, and for us to learn about you. It also depends on your reasons for being here:
Some people come to this site looking for guidance. For this, we would like to know where you are coming from, what sorts of things have led you here, and what you're looking for;
Others come looking for information, and these often just lurk without posting. But I'd encourage you to introduce yourself and ask about things directly. Many old discussions are scattered or broken and may not be the best way for a newcomer to learn about us. Although at the time of this writing it doesn't have any articles, I'd also encourage you to visit the
wiki;
Some people come for a community. For this, we'd suggest you add contact information to your profile for various IM services since this is how many of our members keep in touch, and for an introduction, we'd like to know about you personally, what makes you tick so to speak.
Please, please, don't make very short intros(less than say, a couple paragraphs at least.) Please don't use odd colored text. Another point I'd like to make: we have members from many countries come here. If your english isn't great, that's OK, but there may be some misunderstandings. If you're willing to make an effort to overcome a language barrier, so am I.
Really, it'd be best to leave significant claims out of your intro. Please take discussion of tails, magic or supernatural abilities, or the like to other threads in their appropriate sections. I, personally, consider such discussion vital to the aggregation of new information and ways of thinking, and it's best to have it in dedicated threads than scattered throughout the intro section. They can also be points of contention and an introduction isn't the place for such discourse.
Also, realize that this is an equal and free community. Each person has the right to state their beliefs. Each person has the right to differ with those beliefs. If you don't want to argue, agree to disagree. If you are gonna argue, play the ball - not the man. This means avoiding strawman, "no true scotsman" and ad hominem type statements. Respect the right to disbelieve. Everyone has their quirky beliefs that influence them, they only become crazy when we DEMAND others believe them as well.
Welcome to Kitsuhana, I hope you find what you're seeking.
