@jayna Thank you for your comments. I really like your Wild West analogy. I think it is apt. As I mentioned in other comments, I appreciate all this support so much and it was totally unexpected. I will likely stick around for a while. I try to have a thick skin, but I don't think it is as thick as I might hope, you know?
Thanks also for the kind words about my writing.
That is wonderful news. You sent up a flare and the call was answered. Nothing you said was a huge surprise, and in fact it resonated with quite a few. It's important to hold up a mirror to poor behavior that hampers the goals of growth and prosperity of the platform!
