There are a number of people on both sides of this argument who aren't interested in the role they've played in a problem they've observed, and until we are open to examining our own contributions, or lack thereof to the current attitude of this forum, there will not be a positive change in activity.

Frankly, I don't want to talk about it or to try and solve it, because I don't believe people are interested in listening. More than anything change takes energy, acceptance, and patience, and I no longer feel I have these for this forum.

And a lot of people have felt this way as well.

I'm almost there...but seriously, I used to really look forward to logging on. SOMETHING can be done, right?

The last month and a half or so, my routine has consisted of the following. I return from work. I unlace my shoes. I look at my computer, and think to myself. Do I want to log on to MB? No, **** it, I don't need that. I refuse to go online just to be made angry. And then I pick up a novel and put my emotions and energy into that instead.

And no, I don't believe anything can be done, because I still see major players in this forum's current climate completely missing the role they've played in it--refusing to see it--and until they open up their perspectives and ask themselves what they have done and what they can do better, I don't even want to try.
