Point one:

A question for everyone criticizing Brandon for being a "Drama Queen" (my choice of words, not yours). Which one of Paul's "levels of disagreement" applies?

Point two:

You can make the argument that his "suicide note" is contributing to the problem, but unless he has a flotilla of sock-puppets voting it up, his note is on the front page because the people here--on aggregate--vote things like this up.

Which means that he's right! If the community does not want to read this kind of thing and discuss this kind of thing, it would be voted into oblivion.

You can hardly blame him for 27 of the 28 points it currently has.



Nope, no sock puppets, and I definitely didn't mean for this to be as depressing as a "suicide note". I was mostly curious to what extent older members feel the way I do, and at what point they, too, would consider leaving. Not that I'm trying to start a trend or anything, nothing like that, I'm just curious.
