As those of you who are on Tim's subscription list already know, the boyfriend of "Feangol", one of the authors Tim is hosting on his Website, was, as Tim put it, "mugged, hurt, shocked, robbed, but is alive and well, undamaged apart from what he tells me are minor cuts and bruises." Naturally, we are all most thankful that it wasn't more serious than that (although what did happen was certainly bad enough) and that they will both be OK.
Tim didn't say (and perhaps nobody really knows) what motivated this attack; but every time I hear of such a tragedy, it just immediately reminds me of such tragic figures as Matthew Sheperd. Tim placed a link to this message board on that e-mail; and for some reason, after I clicked on it and saw (again) that banner saying, "A Place of Safety", I heard in my mind's ear that song from "West Side Story" ("There's a place for us...Somewhere"). This message board is, indeed, a place of safety on the Web; would that we could also find one in the real world as well. Perhaps it does exist, somewhere, and hopefully one day we will find it.
To "Feangol" and his boyfriend, HUGE HUGS to you both; and may your wounds (ALL of them!) heal most speedily.
And, by the way, if you haven't read Feangol's story, then by all means do! You'll find it on Tim's website here:
