  i'm taking a break from the forums. they're an exercise in frustration at best. i'll check email still, but all this other "conversation" isn't worth the elevation in heart rate i tend to experience. it's true that diversity is the spice of life, but i think i'll prefer my food bland for a while.

  I am sorry to hear that, but I cannot say I blame you, some of the forums are getting, well never mind. I am using more discretion on which ones I comment on.

  dancer, I'll miss you here, but I understand where you're coming from. I've limited my time and energies here, too, but I won't go away - that just means the nasties get their way. I hope you'll come back real soon...

  I'm not sure I get the threads like this that contend the forums have gotten ugly. I just don't see it. Are there debates? Yes. Are the discussions sometimes rigorous? Yes. Are they getting personal and ugly? Not that I've seen.
  
  I think a good spirited debate is healthy and beneficial. That's what I've seen here, nothing worse than that.
  
  If there are threads here that are causing people so much consternation, which ones are we talking about?

  The problem is most of these discussions are not good spirited.
  
  The 'you're all rascists' thread (not the actual title, but that's bascially what the OP is ranting about) was not started in a good spirited way, nor was the 'was Hitler a homosexual?' thread.
  
  It's hard to have an intelligent discussion when the original post is written in such as way as to cause strife amongst the RJ membership. Thankfully, the rascist gay community thread was hijacked by intelligent, well-spoken people and was able to be turned into an interesting and informative discussion.

  I totally understand - I'm getting tired of the negative comments on the posts as well. I will miss you - because I thought you gave honest but positive comments with some wry humor thrown in...
