Of course someone not being directly involved in the community will not have the same sensitivity, yet the author does not only impart a detailed history but treats the participants in a compassionate manner that was a plesant and welcome relief. I not only enjoyed his work, but advise anyone wnating to know the subculture to give it a study before venturing into the online world deeply, as it will familiarize them before hand.

I wear a bit of my identity everywhere because it is who I am, and while most people just shrug it off, I'm reminded that many consider the Vampire evil. It's always nice when someone can put a rational spin on the subculture. I always enjoy articles like this.

I do agree with the all the previous comments here though, to some extent. The author seems of very sound mind and perhaps has/had good intentions, but we all know where that leads. Yes, this text should not be all that defines the VC, but again I’m not fond of all the media attention, we are not a spectacle. Our bigger more well-known names and groups within the community seem to thrive on the attention they can heap on the rest of us by encouraging participation in projects, such as this one.
