OT- I have not deserted them, PAL. I see no reason to not continue posting to this thread. Their decision to leave is their decision. It's unfortunate that they've left. Notwithstanding the apparent prevailing sentiment on the thread that they were the ones out of line in recent days, I believe that the thread has lost two important members much to its own detriment. And, contrary to your belief, I do not march in lock-step with Poet and Jill, much less with anyone on SI.
Edamo and I have had occasion to disagree and get personal at times, but his positive worth to the thread in my opinion is without question. I object to his negativity at times (a fault to which I possess as well in my own time), but he offers much on a daily basis for people to contemplate that concerns the topic. Tempermental he can be, but he contributes.
I cannot say the same for you. I think that your negativity far exceeds your positive contribution. You are little more than a mimic who comes out of the shadows when there is strife on the thread. On a continuous basis, I feel safe in proclaiming that your positive contribution to SI is minimal at best.
I believe that Poet pegged you in her assessment. Given your response, she definitely hit a nerve.

Note to thread: I would not have posted this in the public forum, but I am just plain tired of hearing PAL's venom be spread about this thread without answer. |
