Yes, exactly!

I think people want to post in the Books so badly that they try to force things. Sometimes when people think they are "intimidated", the actual root of the problem is that the topic simply isn't one they'd like to discuss. And let me tell you, you are rarely going to feel adequate when focusing on something you don't care much about. Arguments and points have a tendency to just slide right over your head, not because you are dumb, but because you're not that tuned in to the topic.

Just look for a thread that has an opening post that interests you. If you don't like what you're reading, then move on. Don't sit and dwell on it, or try and think of how you can post on the thread.

Speak for yourself, Fea- I'm absolutely terrifying when I play Werewolf.
