Thanks, Ar Cunin, for your "counter-points" - they actually comfort me a lot during these trying times (esp at work)
As I explained in my earlier post, I have received feedback from different quarters and tried as hard as I could to retain those who were contemplating leaving
What made it sad was that they were, each and every one, unique, talented and fun to roleplay with. I find it a real tragedy that the differences seem to be outweighing the fun that this thread was supposed to provide [img]graemlins/verysad.gif[/img]
Believe me, it is not easy to have to come out and make a statement as I have had, because I know I risk losing every single one of you. I am the last person who wants restrictions, but then, I think I can say without fear that I have been accommodating and closed an eye in areas which could easily have irritated others. The question now is, can every one of us do this? If we can, then I agree that nothing needs to be done.
Anyway, just to let all of you know that I will be awaiting all your comments, in line with my statement that every one should be given time to respond to earlier posts.
If I am unable to find a suitable DM (whom every one could agree was "unbiased"), I may well end up being the one.
