Folks, if you think you have evidence of someone violating any board rule, please post a message to the admin/moderators in The Clubhouse section of the board.

Making accusations in the discussion threads serves no purpose but to start flame wars and your posts will be moderated as quickly as we can get to them.

Thank you for playing. :)

Just for the record.

I joined another disccussion board last January. There were some posters on that discussion board that I had become aquainted with through this board and had a certain like for. I posted on both boards, but much more on this board than the other.

I have not joined any other boards since then. It is not in my plans to do so at this point.

I have made the choice to take a break from posting on this board. I dislike the amount of sarcasm that is being exhibited by some posters.

I do like the thought provoking posts that are exhibited by some posters on this board. I will continue to read those posts.

The intent of this post is to clarify that the absence of my usually scarce posts is not to be confused with running away, but to inform that I have reverted to my listening mode. (I never did like that lurker moniker.)

I'm glad you're still with us, Merlin! :)

Things will get back to "normal" (whatever that is) soon. I'll look forward to your rejoining us after you've had a break. :)

Zeb, I'm certainly not into running away myself. Others make improvements by leaving. I guess it depends on what the issue is.

If you live in the Antarctica and hate cold weather, staying isn't going to change the amount of cold weather you will get. Moving will.

If the problem is behavior, there are two possibilities--it can change, or it can't. For those who think it can change, then it becomes an issue of if they want to put the time into it to see it through. If there are conflicting priorities, then they most likely won't stay.

I would stay in almost all cases--I'm not going to put someone else down for not thinking like me though. I might not understand it--but I wouldn't put them down.

If others want to go off and create a messageboard where the main topic is to trash another messageboard then that is their choice. I can't see how long that topic will last though.

You are right about the sarcasm, Merlin, and I've been nasty with it. For some people, I felt one good shot deserved another.

I have a lot to think about and hope to see you around later.

Zeb, about your first topic---I hope that it's a process of letting off some steam. There are some pretty decent people signed up on that board.

If it ends up being wishful thinking on my part, then I'll be happy to admit I was wrong. There are some that I hold a huge amount of hope for their anger diminishing over time.

I'd rather they trash us over there than over here! LOL (of course it would be nice if they didn't have to trash us at all)
