JimLur: Take a Break if You Need, BUT
Don't go!
I just got back!
Plus: we're running together as part of a slate for BOD next year!
This board wouldn't be the same without your voice of reason and moderation and civility.
Take a break if you need to but don't even think of going.
If after a break you still feel the same way, then you have to do what you have to do and I think everyone would understand and respect that--and be terribly dissapointed too.
But please don't make any permanent decision until you've had a chance to think it over and get some perspective after some time away.
Based on my experiences in life and on the net, that would be my advice.
And based on my experiences on the net, I have to say that the IDCC board/community/family IS one of the best sites on the net, YES like any family sometimes there are fights and sometimes it can be a bit dysfunctional. But in the final analysis the overwhelming majority of people here are great--informative, intelligent, a collection of various expertise, fun and funny.
I have the perspective of having been away and coming back and honestly I feel like it is a home and Thomas Wolfe was wrong in saying that you can't go home again.
Don't let a few bad apples ruin this beautiful orchard for you.
But do what you have to in the end--just think it is a good idea to take some deep breaths away from the board before making any such decision.
