I have made the near-final decision to leave WP. And this time, it could be permanent.
When I first joined in July 2004, it was a very friendly support system. But lately, it's very difficult to get support from peers and colleagues. And I have tried to help people when they were going through difficult situations.
Now people are getting attacked for not having certain religious or political beliefs (or lack thereof in case of religion), even in the "Haven". Legitimate relationship advice is being ignored in the L&D folder, while threads with titles like "All Women are Possessed by the Devil" get tons of hits. And there is a lot of favoritism on here. If you're not one of the "VIPs", you will be constantly ignored.
I feel that I am no longer of use or service on here, despite my best intentions and efforts.
If anyone wants to contact me, feel free to do so via my e-mail or IMs.
TimTex, I can't believe you haven't PMed the mods when you see abuse and violations of the rules on WP! We are only as stong as our membership, and our membership is our eyes and ears to know what sort of membership we have. I am sorry you have been afflicted, but Tim, you have to help us help you get the community you want to have. We can't do it without you telling us when and where.

later edit: I am so sorry you are leaving, TimTex. It is a good thing for your studies, for your social life at school, too. What ever reason is necessary for you to get on with your life, I truly understand. Remember, if you ever get up to the Pacific Northwest, look me up, I am PMing you my email address
friends?
Merle
