I of course accept the decision but think it was made in a bad way and you I have still not seen any clear reason or the decision other then some people guessed it would be a good idea. Quote:
I have not yet seen any explanation of what the negative effect was and why it was caused by the Conservatory. |

Heh... this thread is beginning to sound like something that should be in the Conservatory...

Now i will stop to express my feelings and thoughts about what happened (and still is happening related to the whole topic). I will not leave this forum as EA did (in the end the conservatory was "just" a failed experiment) but i will get less active because too many discussions across the forum are ending with misconceptions and misunderstandings these days. |

People! People!
Take a break - It's just an internet thread. It isn't real. Go find some sunshine and do something different today, and hopefully you will lose the anger and find a reason to smile. Tomorrow, come back clear-headed and start a new "serious only" thread about something more interesting than this thread. Let's talk about children going to bed hungry in poor countries or something. You decide. Hugs to All! |

what i am hoping, is simply that we will be able to learn from this experience and move forward together towards more positive things, rather than letting this experience become "the end" for some of us. |

Did I miss anything or are we still discussing the Conservatory? Wow. I must be one of the very few who care mostly about e-book readers.

I believe it is a poor decision.
Why does it matter where an offensive topic is created? Conservatory or Lounge with serious prefix? The answer is it doesn't matter at all but it helped to some of us to avoid mostly stupid and silly topics that permeated Lounge in the last year. |

That does not mean that there is a reason to complain. I have not seen any example given exactly what threads motivated the decision and how it spread to other parts of the forum. A lot of people liked the discussions. Why should some people complaining overriding the wishes of the people that liked the discussions but never got a chance saying so? If the goal is to forbid certain types of discussions please state that certain kind of discussions are not welcome. Now I am totally unsure about what is permitted and not permitted. |

Uh oh! Astra, are you getting emails on all the threads? You can unsubscribe at "edit options" under "user cp" to stop them. Then, if you still want notification of certain threads, you can subscribe to get emails for specific individual threads. Gracious, it would be enough to make anyone mad to be receiving emails on all of the threads! EDIT: I would join your avatar in banging my head on your piano! |

Tom, you have made over 3,300 posts in this community and you have been with us since 2007. I trust you have a pretty good idea what kind of discussions are welcomed at MobileRead.
