Don't feel the need to elucidate your thoughts about how the forum can be fixed. We're not interested in what you have to say on that front.
Stick to forum subjects, at which you excel, but not forum management business. Which is not your business. I mean this Lauren. Interfering at this difficult point would not be a wise move or welcomed.
But I am interested in that "flat tire" analogy, because I think I know exactly where your thoughts are originating from and why. A pattern is emerging. It was expected.
Anyway, for the record, we've just fixed the long, slow destructive puncture that almost brought us to a complete halt, and are now in the process of re-inflating the tyre for many future years of happy driving.
With those members who want to come along for ride. If you don't want to, well, that's a real shame. But it's your choice. Membership here is not by force. With the change in Charlie's status, we realized there would be changes and losses in membership. It was inevitable there would be fallout.
Charlie being Charlie, will, I'm sure, be raising merry hell in one way or another eh. With his band of like minded adherents. I can just imagine the thrust of his anger: He needs to assert his innocence at false charges made against him and will YOU stand up for truth? Something like that, I should imagine.
But know this, Charlie is not returning here.
I expected more of you Lauren, to be honest.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
