Like Tracy, I have received a couple of emails privately as well by people who left because of the growing amount of debating/hostility on here. Perhaps it is harder for those toxic to cope because one is that much more vulnerable...? For me being ill with this, I tend to find that anything negative too easily becomes very large in my mind.

I know people leave forums for personal reasons, it happens on many forums. You cannot please everybody, but it is certainly a shame if this becomes a growing trend on here. I hate to see that, this forum stands out and I have pretty much remained on here like a permanent resident and very much value the people I have met here.
