I am leaving the board, for how long I don't know.
I have come to appreciate the intellect of the group and even grown somewhat fond of the more crackpotish of the group.
I have learned a lot over the past three years of participating here. Of late however, this board has been for the most part, nothing but discouraging.
The attacks, the snarkiness is such a waste of time IMHO. Some here just don't know how or when to let go. First it was the abuse that Greg brought upon himself that irked me. The venom that came out during that was equally as disgusting to me as was the attempt to deceive. And this is not attacking AF but really so many jumped right into the ruckus and had to get their shots in too.
Now people are attacking Rick and his actions. Even bringing up matters from a year ago and now trying to re-hash them. This is deplorable. Do you not remember that Rick is your host here? This is his place not yours. You are guests here but all so many do here is complain and make accusations and demands. Pushing the limits of propriety again and again.
Anyway I have had enough. This place was once a solace to me but has become more stress inducing than calming. So it is time to go.
I really do wish all of you well in all your endeavours and to Rick and the Forum Director/Moderators THANK YOU.
Feel free to email me as you wish and I am sure I will come back on occasion if for nothing else to check up on friends.
