Why do some people insist on making Xuxan a scapegoat? I think she's a bit too meddlesome but to blame her for the demise of this board is wrong.

If NM had maintained itself as it used to be, Susans actions and attitudes would have just been a bump in the road.

still, on some of the chats, some still feel entitled to 'cry-baby' in the midst of dis issued talk. theres no hierarchy, no dis above dis, age above age, socio-economic-status (SES) above SES. it's mature conversation. emotional as well as rational conversation. it's not easy. that's why dis chats exist: air-it-out. but take responsibility for your emotions.

in other words, 'how mature old are you?'

"Maintained itself" how, without moderation?

What should have been done instead, in your opinion?

NM has created a safe haven for the very posters that cause the majority of the problems and disruption. I no longer recommend NM to people because of this new bias.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

That's pretty ironic and comical considering you were one of the main culprits that brought about these newfound changes.

somebody called and complained about paradude again!?

...just like in the chats. idiosyncratic behavior stands out.
