Funny but I remember people quoting Glasses' book on Affairs and then going ahead and saying expose the A to your kids even. Glass clearly says not to and not to use the kids to bust the A (if I can understand English correctly).
Being around here for some time doesnt make us experts nor gives us the right to be rude, harsh or insist that it should be our way or..else. We can post to any thread we like, if we think it's a lost cause, fine, we stop posting, with no big words and nusty comments.
Also, an argument I've seen used lately was "how dare you speak this way since you havent saved your M"? Excuse me? If that was a valid argument, 99% of the veterans would have to quit posting. The Bomb and the aftermath, brings lots of wisdome. And one thing it taught me is that we need to keep our eyes open to different ways of approaching things and that we CANT control people.
I am sorry some good guys felt they had to leave. I am sorry there are again these "conspiracy scenarios". Clearly, Michelle needs to see how her team can manage situations like these more effectively so that we dont lose site of the goal of this site which is to help and support because we waste time trying to decipher what locking threads and disappearing posts mean...
Newbies are devastated when they join. They need to be treated carefully and with respect. We as dinosaurs need to always remember how everything affected us at first, how much weight we put on oldtimer's posts... Being "supersensitive", "more royal than the king" as we say in Greek, isnt the right approach IMHO. Lets chill and show our better selves. K
