Wife and I are so appreciative of the great information we've received on this forum and continue to read the many threads and posts as we continue our journey in preparation to move to "lower paradise" as PTurner and Gracie put it!!

For the new folks, don't let the occasional "nasty" get you down. Continue to read, learn and ask questions. That's the great benefit of this forum!!
jgbama -- Glad you are back!

If you think it's bad now, wait until election year.

It seems to me that any "Storm" here is over. Many folks are back, and the new Administration has a good handle on things.

My personal feeling is that we should just let it go.....and continue enjoying the forum and all doing our little part to keep it the quality forum you want it to be.

If we keep talking about the "meanness", "rude posts", etc, it is like a self fulfilling prophecy....it is like "feeding the trolls", etc. The Administration wisely closed some of these threads that were just spiraling downhill.

Now we return to our regularly scheduled enjoyable, informative forum.....

I also agree with Frank. Based on what he said, this thread has probably reached the end of it's usefulness and with Frank saying... "If we keep talking about the, etc....," perhaps it's time to bring this discussion to an end. Please remember that if or when you agree with me on that point, you as the Original Poster has a right to request Admin for it's closure.
