I know better, but...

This just drives me crazy.

I posted on HPRL quite a bit previously, because I was invited and I like smaller discussion boards. I always have, I find it easier to get to know people and I am much chattier in smaller groups. I’ve been a member of GC for years and obviously hardly ever post, mostly because of the size.

But I didn’t know there was going to be this constant, ridiculous back and forth. So months ago I made the best plea I could to ask that the members involved just let it go, because I felt it reflected poorly on everyone who wasn’t involved. When that did no good, I stopped posting.

I imagine making this post over here will do no good, too, but I’m a mediator by nature and my personal failing I guess is that I cannot let go without making one more plea. And, this is the only way I know to make the plea public and keep it from being deleted.

BA and Tom, please, for the love of all the things that HPRL was supposedly about, please stop antagonizing, stop creating drama out of nothing, stop pretending to defend something that doesn’t need to be defended. Stop the hypocrisy of bringing a fight here with the most insignificant claims of provocation. It just makes it worse every time. There are some great people on your site and a lot of opportunity to build a positive community. Every time you do this here, it tears down the community and tears down the potential. Don't lose more members like you lost me. Please, just stop.

I'm a regular poster at you-know-where and I heartily co-sign this post. Two wrongs don't make a right.
