Lawrence is the founder of this site and he can run it as he pleases. I read through the blogs about the recent upheaval, and even though I shouldn't have this reaction, based on life experiences, I am surprised at all the bruised egos. This business of picking up and leaving is the height of egotism. I know about human nature, and I get angry about it, but the iron verdict of history shows that people haven't changed and don't change very much. You rub them the wrong way and and they get incensed and react. Most often, to steal the old saw, they act quickly in anger and regret at leisure. I wish that there would be a way for those who dropped their accounts to be restored after they got over their snits; however, I suppose that would not be in the cards. Come on, people, this is supposed to be fun and a leisure activity. I realize that pride takes over and causes us to strike out. I know I don't take attacks from morons lightly on this site or any other place, for that matter. That being said, we must realize where we are. I have had my differences with Lawrence, but, either I follow his rules, or I go elsewhere. It's that simple. I was glad to see GoneAway is still on the margin of the site, and I am sorry that she left in the first place. She changed her political and religious views. Wow! I would be interested to see her new posts! Yes, Stark, I knew that primadonna and diva are both feminine gender references. I did that deliberately since I could not think of a masculine item that would fit the bill. If you think it was an insult, well I accept that. Truth is always a defense.
