As most of you know, I haven't had the time to participate in or monitor 4um as I once did. That's not going to change. I will not be able to read every post every day. Truthfully, when I created this forum, it was never my intention to be a heavy handed administrator and it was always my hope that participants appreciate that, respect it, and, thereby, exercise self control.

For the most part, that has been the case--until lately.

The animosity and incivility and accusations displayed towards one another has become almost intolerable to me. It's caused me to feel ashamed that I am the owner of this forum. I am actually considering pulling the plug as I cannot see any value in letting this continue.

I would like to know your thoughts and opinions. Subscribe to *4um Admin News*

As I commented on another thread I would really really hate to see you pull the plug.

Personally, I would not take the vituperation of some to reflect general attitudes and behaviors. I think most people here are very civil, with a healthy dash of insouciance, so it does not reflect badly upon you. It reflects only upon those who step beyond the bounds of "agree to disagree" propriety and debate.

"Can't we all just get along?" ;-)

I hope you're kidding about that.

Certain kinds of people will never get along with other kinds of people. I don't think that's a bad thing.

There is no list of rules here. Perhaps the problem is that people don't always know when they're crossing the line.

Yes, your honor, that was a joke. Note the quote marks - it was a statement Rodney King made. I expect people to be boisterous, irascible, caustic, bitchy, and just all around ornery. However, there have to be limits somewhere. Absolutes are unobtainable so you are never going to have an absolutely polite and "reasonable" forum, but within limits it can be very fun.

my sentiments exactly!

i'd sure like us to get back to having some fun again. my favorite aspect of this forum and its posters (many who have become cherished friends) has been the intelligent and often (lol inducing) witty repartee.

i want that back!

thank you all for your replies. they are much appreciated.
