Perhaps I’m just jaded, but this message board seems to have become relentlessly and depressingly petty and mean-spirited lately: and, alas, I don’t seem to have anything worthwhile to say with which to counter it any more. I’m bowing out for a while: hopefully I’ll be back after this place - or I - perk up a bit. I’ll see you later.

Perhaps the Goering quote was bringing negative energy…

Take care, **Case Sensitive**. Hope to see you around again, some time, in fairer weather.

It’s funny, I’ve been noticing quite a few of these posts from members saying they are leaving because the board has changed and that it is not as fulfilling and as fun as it used to be. One thing I notice about these posters is that they all have a high post per day count.

Hm. I haven’t noticed any of these rogues you refer to. In any case, we do hope you come back.
