I value this forum.
From being, some years ago, a contributor to several forums, I have reduced my activity to this one exclusively. Recently I have contributed less. One reason is changes in the nature of some posts, or should that be some participants?
The Linn forum was closed, but not before a phase when very light moderation allowed increasing amounts of personal vitriol to go unchallenged. One of the major culprits (there, then) has become active on this forum.
I don't agree with all posts on here, but I acknowledge differing opinions. I have no time for people who tell you what is best if they fail to display a spirit of enquiry, combined with humility. I believe that the less a person knows, the more certainly they know it.
I'd hate to see the more open and engaged members of this forum driven away, or into silence.
Thank you Spannko, for opening a debate.
