Walden, I apologize for highjacking your thoughtful thread and causing it's termination.

I also apologise.. Sorry, Walden.

Thank you both for the kind and gracious apology, but, having discussed the thread with the moderator who locked it, I feel relatively certain it wasn't your fault.

If anyone owes an apology it's me. I oughtn't to have brought up the subject of the chatroom in the Pub Forum.

If we didn't post topics for fear they MIGHT turn ugly, we'd never post anything.

This is very true (and wise).

Dead right. That one belonged in the rubber room.

I was surprised at the animus toward the chatroom by a few. Wow.

I have never been to the chatroom, but after reading the locked thread, If I were to go there, I'd probably use an assumed name, like maybe rounding down to gonzo910 or even gonzo900, so noone would know it was me.

I have been to the chatroom many, many times...several years ago I was pretty much a regular; lately, I rarely get to say more than hi because I can't stay long.

The chat room was and remains, as far as I can tell, a very friendly, welcoming place.

Even people who are barely civil to each other on the forums were capable of chatting together like old friends.

It was kinda nice.

I hope to get to visit more often.

You have no idea how painful it is, too.

See? I'm so worked up, you guys made me misspell "perilously". Made it look like "peri-lousy". I can't even dredge up a coinage out of that.

I can, and believe me, you don't want to hear about it.

I, for one, am pround of Nano and his ability to rise above it all to moderate proudly.
