please don't go

there is a rule against posting 'i'm leaving'  with good reason.  there are no rules against this post!
i personally know there are some good noble ppl who are packing their bags.  more than one would think.  because they are offended.  ppl not even involved.  they are offended because;
there have been some personal angry attacks made.  they were well intentioned.  but they were still made.
by possibly antagonizing someone i respect, i have come to the conclusion that becuase individuals agree with the arguments that have been made, that doesn't mean they agree with the bullying.  they are seperate issues.
so, if you take some time to cool off, don't decide someone is a bad guy becuase of 'sides' to an issue.  this is still a great community.  and good noble ppl on both 'sides' of the debate.
yes.  the lunatics are still in charge of the asylum.  haven't they always been?
i'm not leaving.  even if my elevator doesn't go to the top floor. unless someone throws me out the window.

To be honest, if they want to leave because people had an argument, are they really that invested in the forum?

Like I'm probably going to retire for a couple of months (I need to focus on work and I'm a little burnt out) but that doesn't mean I'm leaving and none of those things have anything with the epic fail of the forum as of late.

To those leaving, lighten up and eat a cookie.
