I got your PM, but I will reply here so that no one thinks I was disparaging you.
Subsim is, and has always been what it is. That is to say that it is what the members make it. You are towards the top of the list of prominent members here. You post well. You think well. You are respected. All of this is deserved, but it comes with a price. When the newbie first comes to this forum, they look to people like you for the tone. There are no new submarine simulations coming anytime soon. Both you, I and anyone else with half a brain know how SHO will turn out.
General Topics
is Subsim. It is the place that the members will congregate. As such, it becomes the responsibility of the senior and respected members to make the place a home for naval simulation entusiasts -- kind of an ark to sustain the community for the future. As such, it cannot be overtaken by ideology. This is a fight that I fought, and I lost. My time is over. Now it falls to you and those like you. Keep this place on the right footing. It is your cross to bear. And that fight means that there are certain things that you must do and must not do. Divisiveness is death, and people like you will lead this community to the future.
I know that this is overdramatic, but it is the truth. You are a good man, and will carry this community forward.
