When it started affecting me is when I figured it was getting bad, I'm a live and let live guy, one of the most laid back people I know....was tired of the poison leeching in here...and losing good, posting members is not what we re trying to do here.
Having a broad membership is fundamental to different ideas and approaches to solving our audio problems....let's do that.
BTW, I can't even talk politics with my younger sister anymore, we are wayyyyyyy to far apart on that. Used to be the same way with my older sister until about a year before she died, at which time she was starting to question some of her long held liberal leanings. It wasn't long drawn out arguments that did it either...just a realization on her part that the world was getting strange and less respectful. She spent 32 years teaching high school chemistry and biology, took several students to the national science fair, she was an excellent teacher and a severe critic of sub standard parenting. She dedicated her life to teaching kids to think for themselves, bless her heart, and she did well.
One of the turning points for her was hearing how much the government was in my business and seeing it getting worse as time went on....not to mention how much the school system was being "administrated" to something that she would have recoiled at when she started.
!! I'm sad to see the sub forum go, but, respect the outcome...
