Hey Lesser Iron, welcome to PF. I'm fairly new also, but this place is pretty friendly and troll free.

Hello TheLessorIron and a warm welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your stay.
Thanks, Caroline.

Welcome to Philforum!
Every attempt is made to provide an atmosphere and community where the expression of ideas and positions can be made in a civilized and courteous manner, and where problems ("all philosophy begins in wonder" writes Aristotle) can be discussed from a philosophical point of view. That perspective helps reduce, but does not prevent absolutely, fools and charlatans.
Regards,
John
