About LA Judge / Nodecaf:
I am 46 year old VERY Dark Psi / Elemental - Environmental vampire
(Dark meaning negative feeding) residing in Baltimore, MD. While I
can feed via all methods, and am occasionally sanguinary (with the
proper donor), I prefer Psi & Elemental - Environmental energies
because they best fit my energy needs and leave me feeling balanced.
Like many vampires, I too am very empathic. I read as much from
empathic input in my contacts with others as I do by the actual words
they are using.
I awakened at age 14 and have been in and out the vampire communities
since that time. I am a HUGE supporter of community and mentoring.
Vampirism is so often a misunderstood condition, even by those
afflicted with it. I strive for my work here with the VC to be open
and honest to those seeking knowledge and to foster better relations
between the various fractions of the REAL vampire communities.

Question: What is the one thing about the community you would change, if you had the ability? and why?
Greetings,
I’d take that knife out of everyone’s hand.
Too often when we communicate both within and between communities we greet each other with only one hand showing. The other hand we hold firmly out of sight with a knife for someone’s back.
We need to start slow. Small steps. Realizing that differences & diversity between each other and communities strengthens us all as a whole. We need to acknowledge what is just and true for one is not just, true or required for all. We need to acknowledge that we all have a RIGHT to exist. And that we have that right without being attacked or flamed both publicly or privately.
We need to understand that what is said & opinions that are stated in public forums, even within our individual communities, are often known to the entire vampire community. The peacemaking should start with every single person. Promote no harsh words for other communities or individuals at home or away. Know that the pettiness of one person is a determent to the entire vampire community as a whole.
Put down the knife you carry in the hand behind your back.
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than "try to be a little kinder." -Aldous Huxley, novelist (1894-1963)
