Don't leave. I think most are on your side. But many have chosen to stay silent lately, to avoid all the nastiness. Try the smoky backroom!!

You're right, teenyelliott. I'm one of those who doesn't try to argue with madness and I stay away from the volatile threads. I've noticed that even the Smoky Backroom's sanity thread suffers from an infestation. I'm confident, however, that FR will soon regain its equilibrium and the negative atmosphere will clear.

I agree totally. And I bet you the majority of the people who have been less than pleasant lately won't give this issue a second thought in two months or so. There is one (or in this case, several), in every crowd.

And the fact is, you will never find a place where you like everyone. Personally, I don't comment at all to those who have shown a propensity to be nasty. Not worth my time.
