Question: Having had many offline meetings with other groups, and other vampires, do you share the philosophy of the Vampire Church with those you meet? What type of reception does it get? And do you feel that there is a more connected vampire community forming offline?

Greetings.. I share many things when I have meetings with both other groups and individuals. I get a lot of questions which I have answered many times about vampirism and the philosophy of the Vampire Church. I usually have printed information on the Philosophy along with a copy of the Vampire Church Newsletter. People in the public as well as other vampire groups have generally been very receptive to the information and how I present it. This is something I have been doing for three decades out in the offline community and I will say that I have had much pleasure with face to face contact with people who desire to know more about vampirism and the Vampire Church. The Vampire community has gone through too much discord and infighting between different groups especially since the popularity of the internet. You do not see the problems between groups in the offline community like you see online between people talking behind a keyboard. My belief here is that it is a lot harder for people to want to make trouble and talk trash when you are face to face with others than it is with people online. I suspect that after having been working in the online world since 1995 that things will not change for the better online between the diverse groups that come along all the time. The relationship of the offline community has been quite constant in that it remains friendly and upbeat for the most part. I have been in many meetings during my years working in the offline community, and I have found that people genuinely want to solve problems and work together. This is where I have found I want to be instead of in the usless games being played between online groups that come and go and offer very little while they are around.

Dark regards..
