Well, it is good that this topic has become a vehicle for some to voice their concerns -- I am all for healing and some kind of catharsis here.
Trace, your suggestions are practical -- but I don't think emoticons are supported in the topic titles by Groupee. Great suggestion, and one of many that have been acted upon. Should I tug at your heartstrings and explain all the things I had to do this weekend -- that have nothing to do with this discussion?! Of course not! Bottom line: less sleep and time with the family.
And should you be asking for lurkers to post, that will only add to this controversy. But they may...and only make this discussion eternal. Or infernal.
Folks, this is not FOX or CNN. I/we don't have time for this. More specifically, I posed a question earlier which went unanswered: what is the amount of time I should spend on this issue or 2-3 new patients. It went unanswered, because it is a tough, seemingly rhetorical issue. The other reason is that very few people know the amount of time I spend researching answers for new & recent members.
Not complaining here... just explaining. I am learning and changing my views as I go through this process -- but it may not be for the better.
Who should make the rules in the community: the majority or the minority? I already addressed this three years ago. See the terms of service link below.
As not to appear the inflexible curmudegeon, I am happy to defer my moderation responsibilities to someone else how can offer the same degree of dedication, time and intelligence that I have in the past three years (I am very serious) as the moderator. Email me if you are interested; while I still ponder the fate of this board.
