I definitely feel you, that this forum lost a big voice for reason when Ines stepped back. There were many things we disagreed on, but she always encouraged a healthy culture of discourse, mutual respect for people of different views and a consent-first mentality. The forum is not what it was when she was active.
Personally, I am not a fan of big, dramatic farewells, so while it feels like many respectable people are leaving the forum at the moment, I am not inclined to follow just yet. I would rather fade away quietly, but there are still a few people here that I have no other form of contact with. I am happy that I still know some places you frequent, Joh. Just like with Milord, I will miss your presence here, but it is probably in your best interest to put some distance between you and this place.
