A return to an opponents board or general WBB board could, not would or should, be helpful. That is a reality but if it isn't the choice of leadership then we move onward. It is a trade off of pluses and minuses. If some participants and regulars become too irritated they will likely find other options like returning to Scout, Rivals or creating some new venue. What is clear is that increasing numbers have expressed the irritance and moderators are increasingly finding it necessary to put out repetitive fires.
The tension is always can the center hold, when does the nature of the board change too much for some, etc. Many have come and gone over the years, most I miss, some less so. Our daily worlds are just the same, mixtures of people and tensions. Some we embrace, some we avoid, some we would love to strangle and are thankful that distance prevents it and keeps us out of jail. We are all saints and sinners.
There are plenty who tire of EDD posts, ETT posts, bear posts, my posts, pun runs and Milford's humor, DD's grumpisoressness, Tony's bliss, the brilliance of Meyers pants, or wire's quizzes, and so on and so on. The question for each of us is when does the BY cease to be what we enjoy when we can steal moments during the day and when for any of us it is so irrevocably changed or we ourselves are that it just isn't worth it for us anymore. Only each of us can say.
