"Life is too short" is always a valid point. Since the first of the year, I notice that I've averaged a post on SI every three days and a post on this board every eleven days so I don't obsess over Dmitry's action; however, there are times, after I'm reminded of some of his inept "enhancements", when I like to reiterate that they only exist because his ego is too fragile to admit he has made a mistake. For instance, I've been using a Chromebook for about a month now and it's virtually impossible to move the pointer across the drop down menu fast enough to keep it from opening; and viewing the time/date stamp is a constant reminder of its uselessness. Of course, the blatant censorship of discussion was the ultimate display of unprofessional conduct.

I don't paint the SI Admins with the same brush. I've had a few disagreements with Ron in the past, and I respect him because of the way he dealt with them. He actually lifted a suspension once after I presented my case to him. I don't see that action as something Dmitry would have even contemplated. So, I don't think about Dmitry often; but I do enjoy the occasional "stick" to the ribs just to show the contempt I have for what he has done to a once great web site. It didn't have to happen.

You stated a number of times that you were going to leave SI, my guess is to gain sympathy from other members, but how many times do you need to tell us you are leaving?

See a few here:

This list is by no means comprehensive.
