Well with talk like that (we won't post because the forum is dead or one member is missing), it's no wonder it isn't the way you want it! Did anyone who loves that forum make a point of NOT posting if one of us went on vacation? NO. We assume Dio is coming back sometime (at this point there is no reason to think otherwise) and yet you say it's not worth posting because that one person isn't there right now? If I did as you seem to be suggesting, I'd never have posted in GD for the last 2-4 months because three people I was very close to and had the best exchanges with no longer post here. Please take Sazerac's advice and post as you would like to. Ronn_Bman obviously wants to see some discussion take place! I'm seeing new faces over there now, or people who left when the forum got heated up last week. Give then a chance to discuss their opinions too.
Sazerac, you made a beautiful post up there. I hope people really read it and take in what you said. It's valuable advice. I too tend to be moderate in my views and not exceptionally political or outspoken. I do NOT think that invalidates my opinions. Extremes aren't the only way to be passionate about our views!
I hope everyone who has an interest takes up Ronn_Bman's invitation and checks out the War forum!
