Dear all,
I've been dismayed to see how the tone and content of ex-l's postings have recently altered. Despite interventions by more reasonable and balanced ex-BKs, this trend has continued and I feel that the time has come to openly discuss this as a community. In my opinion, if we continue this way we'll prevent any more current BKs joining the forum and risk being discredited as a bunch of moaning, stuck-in-the-past no-hopers. Anyone looking at the Tao of the Traveller and other threads would have to conclude that ex-l is carrying out a personal crusade against ms orange. If we're sincere about our intention to inform others about and perhaps reform BK practices, we need to be engaging in a much more constructive multi-party debate, not a haranguing tennis match.
I have a lot of time for what ex-l has brought to the forum in the past - the volume of contribution is truly staggering. However, I have to share jim friedmann's concerns that it is becoming unreasonable and almost obsessional.
Please let us have an open and honest debate about this before we find that the forum's reputation and credibility is permanently damaged.
All my best wishes,
