Some have asked why they haven't seen me on the boards lately.

Well I decided to take a break from the boards. An indefinite break.

The reason: it's getting so tiring to seeing the flaming wars and the personal attacks and other stuff (Commander Catcop criticism for example... the eurotrash remark which aggrevated me... and I"m not European.)

People putting their own editorial judgements on things. The comments about the cliques (I know they are directed at me and I'm accused of being "teh president of the Flyertalk clique.")

I won't go on. But I sense a feeling of chilliness and nastiness that I felt could happens as the board grows. But I'm not comfortable with it.

I think NJDavid and others have made good points..l. like a code of conduct and EVERYONE GIVING E-MAIL ADDRESSES (SO WE CAN RESPOND PRIVATELY IF A REMARK OFFENDS US.)

I will probably lurk from time to time. When I'm coming back... who knows?

But until things calm down I don't see a place for myself on this board.

And it's not like my absense will be felt. You got plenty of people to fill my paws.

Randy, I'll be in touch. And i'll see some of you at the FAQ and some even sooner.

Have a MEOWY DAY!
