JenEllen,

Why is it necessary, when some users voice their personal experiences at Mudcat which are different to yours, that they leave, as you suggest they should do above?

This is exactly what I'm talking about--the way the Mudcat "family" gets its knickers all in a bundle every time someone holds a mirror up, and they don't like what they see?

You see, for some of us, the "problem" isn't with the forum. The "problem" some people are talking about is with some Mudcat members who believe only *their* experience of Mudcat is genuine, authentic, or legitimate, and anyone who has a different experience with Mudcat, or expresses a dissenting, non-conformist point of view, should just leave.

That's a problem. You have the right to your point of view. You don't have the right to tell others to leave, because they don't agree with it. Or that their experience of Mudcat isn't valid because it isn't the same as yours.
