Let me ask you guys something -- if he reworded the announcement of the new forum to something that more clearly reflected that he meant 'newsletter authors and financial contributors' instead of 'supporters', would that help?

That sure sounds like it would better define the forum than "supporters" since there are all kinds of support. And of course this is hindsight, but I think if Doc John had offered even a tiny bit of explanation about the purpose of the forum at the time he announced it, well, perhaps there wouldn't be as intense of a reaction to it. Who knows?

Of course, I'd still not "get in", although I did offer to write something for the newsletter, even a regular column. But as I never received a single reply to my offer, I have not submitted anything. Lots of ways to interpret that, but they all add up to no contributions from me. Which is fine.
