Two things --

1. I designated one thread for continued BT1 discussion because I don't want this community to get "stuck" in a mode where every discussion about our community turns back to BT1. Everybody has had their chance to express their feelings about what's happened, so I'm hoping we're coming to some "closure" with that.

2. I sincerely hope that someone who runs a community that had over 40,000 members doesn't assume that a dozen or two people who've expressed some frustration or anger here about the events somehow speaks for the other 39,975 members. Frustration and anger over the events that have occurred are normal emotions to have and it is a natural reaction to what happened. Expecting people to act like they *don't* care and aren't allowed to express negative emotions would seem to be more fake and artificial.

In virtually every thread where this was brought up, I also saw many of those same people (virtually everyone here) express their heart-felt appreciation as well for JL's work. So it's not like it's been a one-way street of "slander" and "rock throwing."
