You are obviously not alone in wishing that a handful of members didnt make it necessary to 'deal with' their middle school nonsense in order to enjoy the great content here.

I think we all agree that the content is worth it -- or else we wouldn't be here. But it's a fact that some of the most knowledgeable members are either absent or silent because they got sick of dealing with the crap. that's a shame in my opinion.

It seems obvious to me that the forum would be better without the vitriolic junk, political or otherwise.
