In reply to the discussion: I've got to think the teeth-grinding in Admin is escalating to dangerous heights over Bernie [View all]Proserpina

2) by co-ordinated "swarm" operations, terrorist in nature and intent, usually at low-attendance times

4) and of course, if one doesn't subscribe to the star system, one's chances of being asked to serve are greatly diminished...as if a reasonable and neutral person would pay for the privilege of taking such abuse!
5) by members switching over to JPR in disgust over the destruction of what was once a valuable and thriving community, thus depleting the available pool further.
