    Gotta be honest about this...

    Since I stopped being a regular on here, which is probably more than a decade ago now I imagine, I have continued to drop in at least weekly but sometimes daily.

    It has remained a constant source of inspiration, information and entertainment, and it's been a great layby on the information soupy highway that I have remained very fond of, despite not participating.

    But it's got smaller and smaller, and less people post, and then lately it's just become a battleground for two aggreived factions to trade barbs.

    I don't bother reading that stuff, but when that stuff feels like 70% of what's on here, it gets hard to ignore.

    And I have to say that based on the little bits I have read, none of you come out on top, victorious.

    I've never read so much petty juvenile barb trading in my life. It seems like an arena that stipulates you lose automatically just by entering it.

    This place probably hangs by a thread now. Barely able to justify its continued existence, but please, don't become the palpable reason for it finally spluttering, collapsing, and dying.

    Let it die for any other reason than purile tit-for-tat where all contenders sound ridiculous. There may not be much of an audience but the windows are open and it's all here for public record.

    Some decorum and dignity would be wise, and this is coming from somebody who had neither quality on display during my active QBN years.

      And I acknowledge being part of the problem. But if QBN won't do anything about it turning into a shit-slinging shit show I might as well dig in      palimpsest
    • None of this shit would fly on Discord. We run a tight ship.palimpsest

    • how huge is your part in the part of the problem then? 12% -64% it was all pretty smooth till u came back...neverscared
    • Indeed I took a week off and it all went smothly. I do concur.
      Until I came back and decided to make that post above.
      I would say my part is 85%.      palimpsest
    • 30% in making the post and 55% in reacting to the aggravation.
      More or less.      palimpsest
    • There's always a margin for error. I would love to look at your calculationspalimpsest
    • So when other users call you out you act all innocent and docile, got it :)
      ********
    • You talking to me?
      What part of 85% responsibility did you not get?      palimpsest
    • Well you took it a bit far as you have no mental and emotional control it seems and all this shit about me will have legal repercussions :)

      ********
    • I asked many times to mind your business and you decided to continue with your circus, but it seems you cannot.

      No problema, that can get fixed
      ********
    • You act like a teenager with no emotional control. That's fine.

      There's a saying - fuck around and find out.

      That is all.

    • 12% -64% doesn't sound too black and white. You can't have 3/25ths of your cake and eat it too.palimpsest
