Thanks for making this change.

I really enjoy woodworking, and in recent years my enjoyment has been growing. That’s partially due to this website. But the site was becoming a “hostile environment”.

While I tried to avoid the animosity, both topics and individuals, sometimes I can’t avoid being exposed to it. That ain’t what I want. In the 60’s I’d mutter “you’re bringing me down, man”.

And the nastiness was escalating. I began to wonder if maybe it was time to withdraw from the site – for the sake of serenity.

I hope all members try to comply with the intent of these changes, and find a way to be nice to each other. I’m getting older and I find I no longer have much time for rancor.

Please.
