Why do I like PGC?

I asked myself this morning, why do I like PGC? What makes this group special?
Immediately and without my control faces I didn't recognized or have never seen before started to pop up in my head, but what all of them had in common and made them all familiar was that they all were smiling. Even though I have never seen them before and certainly didn't recognized them, they all felt like family, like I knew them all. And then I thought "why are they all smiling?"
I think PGC's success as a community lies in their neutrality. By avoiding those themes that tends to divide us, it opens the possibility and the opportunity for all to spend some time in our lives without judgments, without being judged. People see the opportunity to look at others and to be looked at like just another human being, as just Another Joe. That possibility excites us, and the chance to have fun with a fellow mate without caring where they are from, what they wear, what their sex is, who they pray (or not) to, if they are fat, skinny, ugly, their religion, politic views, gay, straight, black, white, yellow, from outer space, how they talk, rich, poor, what ever.... we all simply melt in the human pool that we all share... pure brotherhood and sisterhood.
All members understand this and there is no need to use words such as "respect"; it's being defined simply by the actions of our heart.
Ok, you can throw up now...

! When I first started playing on PGC servers and started talking to you guys on TeamSpeak, I felt more relaxed and more of myself. Even when my ping is like 200+ms you guys didn't hate me for killing you all.
