I have been following this thread and wishing that I had the answers. I think that we need to have discussions like this, because there are people here who are feeling like they can't say what they need to say. It is important to know that. I agree with all of you about the importance of open, honest communication. The key, of course, is to do that with respect. That can be very difficult when emotions run high. Also remember that not everything needs to be said to everyone. This site has three ways to communicate - posts, PMs, and chat.

I still don't know what else to say, but I just want you to know that you are being heard and we are trying to find ways to make this site work better. This site may not be perfect, but I suspect that if there were one out there that was perfect, everyone would be there instead of here. I don't know about all of you, but I stay here for three reasons. This site helps me. I haven't seen a better one. My friends are here.

I wonder, since you ask what's the point, what is the point in staying here if you are unhappy? What do you like about being here that keeps you hanging around? I'm not suggesting that anyone leave - just hoping to bring balance into the current conversation.
