As a somewhat casual visitor to these pages I've refrained from getting involved in the potentially destructive exchanges so far, but when it comes to people threatening to leave, then I think it's gone far enough.
As Rick himself says, it's very easy to simply ignore him. You can quickly identify his posts and skip over them, as I shall from this point on. He can only get under your skin if you let him. Don't read, and/or, don't respond.
Pup, I don't want to see you leave either. This forum has been of tremendous value to me for some light-hearted banter and occasional sage advice and the reason is people like yourself, Mrs. M. (sorry...Shirl), FalconGal, Jabber, R2, Bartleby, Mike, Jake et al.
I'm posting this one separately 'cos I crave attention too.
Sermon ends.
