Don't STOP! In the name of reality!
When there are problems with a system they will not be solved by
shoving the "dirty" laundry under the bed. Each neighborhood has it's
own cast of characters and two sides of every story, but that doesn't
keep one side from being right and the other wrong. There are major
problems with the neighborhood structure and the NRP, trivializing the issue
will not make it better.
If you personally don't like reading about issues that you find too personalized
then ignore the thread, but please don't suggest that we censor ourselves
so that you won't have to acknowledge the existence of problems, no matter
how small they are.
