This forum was just a little bit disturbing. Now, I admit I've contemplated leaving, too, but after absorbing the many responses I've received to my own topics and threads, in the final analysis I have had to look inward, (while looking outward) and realized, once again, that our emotional world is the one we carry with us, and the responsibilities lie close to our chests, not in and of others' points of view or actions. This may sound a bit cheesy, but I mean it in all sincerity: There have been members who have been hurtful. Yes, very much so. And, sometimes regrettably, I have no doubt made an idiot of myself in reactions. I am not right all the time. I did, however, (and here's the "cheesy" part, so hang on) discover that even though the few members that have been terrible, and most disagreeable, actually have some views and comments that are, in fact, valid and worth taking a note of. So, like the proverbial miner, I've panned for gold, so to speak, and collected the nuggets and tossed the mud and silt away. We all have a responsibility to be the best, and to see the best, and to do the best we can. It may sound odd to some of you, but the club (CS) has been a bright part of my life, and the many friends, though we have never physically met, are very, very important to me. I am choosing to see the good, and ignore any negatives. I think the OP would be healthier if he did so, as well. JMO

i always look to positives rather than negatives, as best can be done, and as you have rather adeptly put, toss what is not needed but into the pit
