I am actually thrilled to see that so many "moderate posters" (that's MO) are also somewhat fed up. EVEN LAURA!!!
. (Thank you Laura for expressing so eloquently what SO MANY of us are feeling).
It was such fun here...and now it HAS become a terrific place for new Viper owners. Even I am growing weary of posting an answer to the endless stream of "what first mods should I do?" posts.
Regardless of what the "banned" plan to do, I desperately hope that when we have our "NEW" Board, they (the Banned) are ALL invited back! If they don't return, so be it. If they do return only to cross the newly designed and refined "line" again (to be banned again), so be it.
But they deserve an invitation! If not by the moderators, they are sorely missed by this Board!
