Normally I would do as I usually do; sign in, read the posts etc., maybe leave a comment or whatever and then log off. Also, get help if I had a problem.
I voted for No.1 for my own reasons (as did others), and I must admit that I feel some sadness as to how it has degenerated into a schoolyard squabble with the usual players. I didn't realise that there was a 'pecking' order at MR. The tenor of some of posts can only be described as 'mild bullying' which surely is not the aim of MR? Animal Farm comes to mind. I sincerely hope that this can be sorted out as soon as possible. |

Most of us are indeed moving on. Of course, there will occasionally be the snide remark, or an implied subtext. However, I feel those doing so will soon feel ostracized from the "healthy" environment inherent in most of MobileRead's personality - and those kinds of posts will become (I feel) less and less, and finally less and less appreciated by the majority of the community here. The Lounge will not change one bit, unless the participants in the Lounge decide to make a change via their posts. The Lounge is a place where many people are very, very happy. I encourage you to go there, visit, and post if you have an inclination. I encourage you to post in ANY forum of your choice. Right now, as mentioned, the new Forum is in the process of being implemented, a name created, and a tag line describing it - one which in no way will demean the Lounge which remains intact, undisturbed, and robust as usual.

Please explain how 10 posts on topic and 100 posts off topic can get on topic so new readers can read the thread from the beginning without splitting the thread (which moderators do not do in this forum).

We've been known to split threads at the request of members.

I see the world has moved on whilst I've been otherwise occupied.
Conservatory .... Interesting choice of name ... I like it !!! a school giving instruction in one or more of the fine or dramatic arts; specifically, a school of music or a place where chocolate can be eaten safely.... a greenhouse, usually attached to a dwelling, for growing and displaying plants, or roasting occupants in the summer months and freezing them in the winter ... a place where things are preserved; let's hope we don't all become mummys ..... |
