Firestorm at Z's....

[Sumpter250]

I was under the impression, apparently mistakenly, that everyone came over to this forum because they didn't want to act like the old forum did

I can only speak for myself. I came over to here because I could not, in good conscience, enforce the "new rules". I came over to here, because this forum most closely embodies the things that attracted me to The-Gauge, as it was before it became Zealot. I remained a member there, and still, occasionally stop in, and contribute. I said this once before, and I'll put aside personal tradition, and repeat myself, in the hope that this time we can all take it to heart, have our "conversation" here, and keep the rest of the board free of it.
"Sometimes, we just need to talk things through, and dump "the baggage" those things are part of, before we can begin the "going forward". Sometimes we simply have to have the time and, perhaps more importantly, the place to mourn the loss.
We are your "flawed, and feeling friends", forgive us our humanity."
