MP, I hear you loud and clear and would be very sad if you left. You have contributed so much to all of us and it is people like you that make many of us come back to see who is on and what was said or rather written.
I agree with you and I have learned over time when I get upset and frustrated to stop reading and instead of leaving the CR totally to just filter and not read those threads. I have to stop myself from getting involved in certain discussions and just leave them alone. i don’t open them, i don’t read them and I don’t get involved in them. And if a thread turns sour on me, sometimes I write a response and not send it. And sometimes I write a very wild and crazy response and leave it to the moderators not to post it. So basically I vent to the moderators and they are smart enough to file it in the trash.
So before you make up your mind to turn your back on us completely try to ease yourself away from those threads that people start to get someone’s goat, or to “hock”, and just join those that you feel you can help with or you can learn from.
