You should not let anyone make your experience so bad that you have to
leave. Personally I have had bad confrontations with some people here (to
be more specific, 5 regulars whom I call the gang of 5 and they know who
they are) for over a year but I would never let them take control.
Just very recently I invested few minutes to read my news reader's help
file and found a way to delete all messages from those 5 before I even have
a chance to see them. Now the ratio of good to noise posts have gone down
dramatically. More time for me to concentrate on what I want to do, less
time wasted with trolls, plus I am getting very busy with new projects.
I suggest you do filtering and not let anyone spoil your experience.
(PS: I know I had a little spat with you a couple of weeks ao and it never
went beyond one post, which is good. I always thought of you as a
reasonable self restrained person)
