That is why I left so happily - all the fighting and the drama -
In the very beginning there were no moderators and people were new to netiquette and nuance on this new medium altogether ....mix altogether with pain, a bad day , some really bad docs and differing backrounds and you had the potential for some lashing out online .No one to blame just a volatile combination of alot of things.
I agree it has calmed down a whole lot .People got more accustomed to the medium and the message ( with all due thanks to Malcom Mclaren)
We did have alot of fun too in the smaller groups before the fighting and craziness took over.

Anyway John or John ......as long as and esp. for new people who feel their world has been turned upside down and inside out ; who can come here ( or there - if there exists again ) and get that warm fuzzy feeling in their hearts when they realize they are not alone, then it really doesn't matter where they have to go to get that feeling here or there(or both) as long as they get it.

It's like love - you can never have too much of it

Much peace
