Dorian - I have no wish to beef with you. My intent in the original post was merely to build on your anecdote about the bully as an example to support my opinion that there are better/different ways to deal with the current unrest on the boards. I happen to disagree with the strategy of those who are leaving.
Whether or not you could move away is irrelevant to the discussion - I'm not trying to debate what you did those many years ago.
Thanks for the opportunity to explain, I hope you'll agree with me when I say "No blood, no foul".
Cheers
