“It’s unfortunate that some left because of differences in point-of-view with respect to religion and politics.”
I agree. Sometimes, like now, I feel bad about this since I was, at times very ornery with JG. Logic kicks in and I think, if someone is going to be discouraged from participating on a housing blog because of politics and religion, maybe they are too wrapped up in their views on politics and religion. Also I assume that if someone can dish it out they can take it. He could have also left for reason completely unrelated to the fussing and fighting. Maybe he realized he needed to calm down and had to quit “cold turkey”.
I think Perry got a worse deal but even he could be here if he wanted to be. If he was using his real name it is easy to understand why he might leave in the face of the abuse he was handed.
Some people have come and gone because they were not making enough money from the blog IMO.
