That there were those who left to make a philosophical statement, and those who stayed behind to try to make a difference here on this board.That would've been fine: "There were those who left to make a philosophical statement, and those who stayed behind to try to make a difference here on this board." Or even: "Some tried to make a difference by leaving in protest, others are trying to make a difference by staying behind." It should be possible to inspire without putting down the choices of others. You know, there's more than one road...

I know, and I appreciate that, but I do think I let things go on too long before, so I'm trying not to do that again. I hope he understands.
