I certainly appreciate that feeling - and for the most part, the
individual(s) responsible for that are no longer participating, primarily
because after getting several complaints I stepped in to 'request' some of
the offenders act more mature. In response, they decided to leave. Go
figure...
However, you do sup****t my statement that a few jerks can drive people
away,
even if there are some who sup****t the jerks. When said individual(s)
decided to leave, the sup****ters predicted the death of the forum -
fortunately, they were wrong and as you might suspect the quality of
discussion improved.
