Worryingly, I can hardly disagree with a word that Mr. Adults says. My opinion about what I thought was a very mature, self-governing community has been changed a lot by what has happened over the past week.
I shan't be leaving myself; I'd like to say that this is because I want to make a point but feel that no-one will care how many contributors go, but it's really because I can't bring myself to leave as long as there is still good work being done here and I can help in whatever small way I can.
I hope that Mr Adults can find a forum where as much good work is done here but the moderation is more active and less partisan. Perhaps in such a place someone might be valued more for what they do for the projects than for their personal friendships with the people in charge. I also hope that, if he does, he tells us about it, so that we can all go there.
I fear, however, that such a place might not exist.
