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*

It would be very sad indeed to see this forum go away as there are many fine posters here who have great minds and ideas. We are not always going to agree on what each other has to say. No two minds think alike. I definitely agree about the uncivil behavior on this forum though. How can this forum attract new posters without quickly losing them? Some of these new posters are from highly educated backgrounds too. I came on this forum because I was really hoping that there were better informed posters here about things and especially those who have an independent way of thinking. Compared to other forums where if you don't speak the right things, or your politics are not agreeable with the rest of the forum (like FreeRepublic and Libertypost), this forum is by far the better of them both. I don't believe in homogenized thinking or groups. I avoid them like a contagious disease!
