This was my reply to Odd's leaving thread before I knew that Bul locked it. I think some of you out there might want to take some of this into consideration:
"No...No no no! Not today! Too many people are leaving these forums, and this needs to be fixed! No one should ever have to feel the way Odd is feeling right now. Forums are supposed to be enjoyed, Forums are a place where people have fun, Forums should not have anything to do with sarcasm, sadness, arguments, or any other sort of negative comments. People that have made Odd feel this way should be ashamed of themselves. What kind of a forum is this, if a lot of the time people are being treated with dis-respect? Not one that I would like to belong to. This has just about done it for me as well. Odd, if you stay, I will stay. But if you decide to leave (which you have every right to do), I will leave as well."
