One simple post or comment I have no issues with, nor I think one has to have a pedigree to post here, but when literally 80% of one's posts are outbursts of insults and whining post EOL, and of that the absolute totality is purely destructive and uninformed, I take issue with it, because it ruins the list as a resource for me and many others who are being silent about it and simply abandoned discussion, or even unsubscribed.
This place has been a significant part of the professional network many of us have built over much longer than just the last few weeks of turmoil, and if AD is solely to be blamed for upsetting people with a hamfisted and mismanaged move, the people have to take responsibility for making the community itself poisonous and useless to others, like me, who would still like to use it for something more useful than posting amateurish rants or personal insults to valuable sources of information. Some BS was OK for a while. Some BS mixed with useful comments and initiatives is OK pretty much all the time with me. All BS all the time makes you worse than AD itself. As I said, that's my piece, I was aware when I wrote it many would have disagreed, but I still decided to post it.
