Ultimately, whether a group "goes backwards" or forwards, succeeds or fails, depends on the membership. The quality of the dialogue has improved here lately with the return of a few members that were at one time interested in the quality of the conversation. Even when that quality was high, squabbles occurred and trolls came and went. It will be interesting to see what happens to the group, whether it slides back to viscous discourse or continues to improve. No behind the scenes covert manipulations will decide the fate. This group will fail or not because of what the members tolerate, respect, introduce, offer and create. No more no less. You can stack the administrators, change the engaged members. The tone and longevity of the dialogue is simply formulated by the daily words posted. No single person's manipulations (or select few that allow) will make or break it. Even if ME fails here, the members relate on more than one platform, and if the desire is to continue the conversation, whatever the tone, it will continue. Human resilience should never be underestimated.
