we dont need any side shut up. we do need to understand what the direction is. is it a place with a free flow of ideas? is this the "Arena of Ideas" we all wanted? or has it become a safe place for safe conversation among some friends? the first makes AFF important. the later makes it just like every other forum out there.

No vitriol here. The problem has been one of direction. I am by no means an ultra con or a con but I have seriously pulled back from posting.
I like MOW, but, he made a choice to leave. That's his choice. Why all of the angst? If ownership wants to keep a tighter rein on things to avoid an NFCF fiasco then kudos to them.
The estrogen level is at flood levels here today.
