I am choosing to say publicly a few things, and I will say a few others in private. I was just looking today about returning, and I'm sad to see that this community still seems to be at odds, and unable to truly work together as a unified force.

That said, my personal public opinion is that while not all dirty laundry needs aired, I wish there wasn't so much deleting. I think the record is capable of standing for itself, and I see no issue with leaving dissenting or disagreeing bgg points of view up. Conversations that should be private can and should of course be taken there as quickly as possible, but when I see a thread with 330+ deletions, that raises more questions than I think is helpful.

Just my two cents. As always, I believe that everyone here supports the mission and wants what is best
 If we keep that in mind, many things can be overcome.
