[Wow! This thread has so much energy in it!]
I notice that in some posts people use the term "this board" to refer to the web site. I wanted to point out that we have: the original PB (meds), PSocialB, Tele-Psycho (or Tell a Psycho as I like to think of it), PBAdmin, PB2000, PB book board, once was PBChildren board. That's 6 now, 7 tried so far. The 6 boards have fairly different levels of support to them, probably PSB and PB having the most. I worry when people stop making distinctions and begin to paint things with one broad brush (and/or using superlatives).

So, there isn't really "a" board now, like there was when I came (PB only).
We've had other occurrences similar to the current one as the new boards cropped up, where feelings got hurt, people stopped posting for a period of time, there was polarization, etc. I expect that the uproar about the 2000 board will calm down--I hope so.
Hurt feelings suck--been there many times. Like the family this site is, there are bound to be ups and downs, healing, hurting some more....a big unpredictable series of events where people may meet in the middle on one issue, and be at opposite ends on another.
Above all, tho, we do seem to pull together and support each other pretty well overall, plus when we are shocked or shaken at the things that happen around us. I am thinking of Sar's death, of course, and 9/11, as examples that shook us all.
