The reasons for refreshing this thread may be less than positive, however, one can only hope that something more positive results from it. This thread shows that the only course open to you, when you get to the point that you have tried your best to ensure that our forum is as good as it can be and it still not to your personal taste, is to remove yourself from it.

Rather than accept this reality, sadly, many still seem to think and encourage the idea that our forum can be changed to reflect their personal tastes by encouraging the removal of the contributons of others, that are not to their personal tastes. There were many nice things said in this thread, and it was nice to read them again, including the following - Goodbye, Roger. I hope you come back. You're a good guy.

Wesley S came up with the following [posted in the latest 'hug and prayer complaint thread]- it says more in a few lines than I can ever manage, in my long-winded way.

Grant our members and guests the serenity to accept the things they cannot change - the courage to change the things they can - and the wisdom to realise that this is a forum open to the public and that they have no control over the posts and ideas of others

As it was not a suggestion of mine, is there any chance of you putting this wonderful common sense into the FAQ and in the headings of the various forums? [crediting Wesley S of course]

The starting point is setting the example that accepts that none of us here really have any control over the posts and ideas of others - only ourselves. That is something I would have thought that the Joe Offer I first came across and greatly respected in the forum, accepted and set the best example in.
