I have to admit, I agree with resp:8 's assertion, at least in my case. I
also would include the manner in which Cyklone began to express his opposition
as having an equal effect on *my* decision to stop supporting Grex financially.
In the beginning, I was appalled by the deletion of entire items from *any*
conference. Hell, I'm a relative neophyte in this world of Michigan BBS's
(acquiring my login in 2000) and even I knew a fairwitness wasn't supposed to
do that. My position at first surprised me, as they might perhaps surprise
cyklone. What had happened to the community as a whole affected me profoundly,
and caught me completely off guard. It began to get worse, as the attacks
became personal and more vicious, and large sections of the bbs were excised. I
had always admired what I perceived as the goals of the founders and membership
of Grex, but I lost that admiration very quickly. That saddens me to say.
I never could feel safe in expressing my opinions then, and I still have no
brilliant way to fix it, now. For this reason, I feel I should apologise for
posting even this, now. I sincerely wish the corpus Grex to find a way to heal
these open wounds, and take some decided action to immunise itself against
a recurrence. Listen to the different parts of yourselves.
