Having been on the net longer than you and been a mod and admin on a few MA sites I can tell you this:
Drama keeps forums going.
Internet drama < a good butt scratching
No one really cares about you or what you think UNLESS it happens to mesh with what they think.
Never, ever take it personally for the above mentioned reason.
The MA, all kinds, have been around longer than we have and will be around long after we are dead, nothing we say or do will change that.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
