I have been on the sites since Patton was a Private. I know many many of the members, moderators and the two Web Masters personally. I've lived it all - the good and the bad. Recent events were not the finest hour for either site.
I am greatly encouraged by the latest statements from both sites advocating that we all strive for our best. I truly know the courage it has taken by parties from both sites, with deep wounds, to step forward and make apologies and consessions in a genuine effort for the best this Hobby can be.
You have my utmost respect and thanks for your efforts to move beyond the past and for your pledge of continued action for a great future.
