I appreciate very much how hard you have worked to clean up the shit. It is a thankless job under the best of circumstances, and lately it has been anything but the best.

Enjoy your break, and hope to see you back.

I'm coming back after a break of over one year myself.

It can definitely help. I used to like reading your perspective on things BostonBean, take a breather.

I kind of don't blame Skinner for backing off and refusing to personally deal with it. This place is a headache inducing nightmare some of the time with the crap that goes on (including this) and it isn't my job. I don't personally know if I'd be willing to own a site where I had to oversee every issue people had with each other. What if it's a choice between having juries do the dirty work or shutting the place down for his own sanity? I'd rather keep the site going. I have to say though that I am starting to really dislike some of the people who post at DU. Some of them are just hateful people. (No one here at HOF obviously <3 )
