Ohhh butterfly...I soooo didn't mean my opinion to be directed at you. Actually, I feel the exact opposite. I always find your posts to be interesting, funny and uplifting. My apologies if I made you think otherwise.
I really was referring to an overall tone, or feeling (for lack of a better explanation) starting some months ago, that's been becoming more and more noticable as of late. It kind of started by a few people randomly yelling fire in a public place in order to start mayhem. It's mutated and changed over time, and even though those actions don't exist anymore, we're all still recovering from them. Kind of a rebuilding of trust that should never have been broken in the first place. I think the board is simply in the healing process, and the scars are in need of some repair.
I believe that is what Admin and moderators are attempting to do. We are indeed important to them, and our opinions and feelings do count. I really do believe they are attempting to heal the scars that started a few months back; in a manner that benefits all. Again...this is mho.
I'm looking so forward to the time when we all can get back to the quilting fellowship as we all have grown so fond of without the seeds of conspiracy and mistrust that were planted not so long ago.
