On the occasions when I've met other Esperanto speakers I've always felt some connection with them I don't feel with speakers of other languages. I suppose it's because people who have taken the bother to learn a minority language with a particular internationalist focus must have something in common with me.
However, Esperanto speakers come in all sorts of political and religious shades, and very often the connection ends there. Full stop.

My experience when you meet an Esperantist is that it's like meeting a distant relative you've never met before. Often the fraternal-sounding term 'samideano' is used. ('member of the same idea'.. sounds better in EO!)
