There are those who would seek to destroy any degree of difference or diversity in our society. We must not conform to just one degree of thinking as that is the mark of a totalitarian regime. Only by embracing a plurality of human consciences can we realize our dreams of a world free from oppression and intolerance.

On August 7, 2001, Adequacy.org fell victim to these same dark forces. For reasons unknown and by individuals unidentified, a burgeoning community was stripped of its home and cast into the streets to fend off the wolves and sheep of inadequacy for nearly a fortnight. Untold thousands of readers were left adrift in a complicated world without intellectual guidance and direction; innumerable world events transpired without excrutiatingly close examination; the light of freedom had been extinguished.

But today is a new day, and tomorrow a new tomorrow. As absence makes the heart grow fonder, a reinvigorated Adequacy.org shall once again claim its place at the forefront of controversial discussion. Those halcyon days behind us were no mere salad days; they were but a taste of what's to come.

Adequacy.org's mission is an expansive one and has not been easy to fulfill. We cannot promise a rose garden. We cannot promise the caterwauling world about us can be bent to the will of a small intrepid band of dedicated aesthetes. But there is one thing we can promise: though life's been no crystal stair, we shall keep climbing.

Thank you.

ED Though the absence has been long, and the novelty might be greater, adequacy's intolerance for comments of the 'First Post' variety remains untempered. To these, and to other 'trolls', begone! [To etm, yes, your comment has been deleted.]
