A message board does become a community. and anytime a new poster arrives it is always with a suspicious eye. Look at recent events here with a certain canine. Experienced posters know what is going on and can deal with it as they see fit. New posters may be run off forever with some of the experiences I've witnessed, (partaken).
Has this board become a collective of thought? I'm afraid it has to some degree. I don't know what happened, but I miss Teri. And some others that although Hill fans or not, have left recently. There is truly only one that I wish never to return here. And as much as I disagree, (loathe, despise, abhor
) with them I would not wish any to leave, and would feel badly if I was the cause. Except for a certain canine.
