It was a good thing though as it put stuff into perspective for me. Knock on hasn't returned and maybe that's a good thing for him? If he wasn't enjoying the place there is no point putting yourself through the crap. If only we could multiply the nice guys like yourselves
    Hi there Henners. Just popped in for a glance and noticed this.

    Yep, you're right. It was some immature members that get a kick out of provoking hostility rather than debate that convinced me I had better things to do with my time than indulge their games.

    Also I wasn't happy with the tone of the forum from a moderation perspective. I believed it had become too sanitised with too much suppression of banter and subjects. For me, that was the death knell.

    I pop my head round the corner every few months to consider different opinions and views on contentious issues from members (the first thing you should open is your mind) don't bother posting as I don't see the point anymore.

    We miss you , Knock .

    I don't get why you don't see the point any more , though .
    The point before was that it was fun debating , wasn't it ?

    It still is fun .
    But , just not as fun because some of our valued members left .

    Like you , for example .

    It is worth it to work these things out .
    We have lots about which to debate these days , and all our lost posters need to put in their two cents .
    Bernie put in his hundred million , so now we have to do our part !
