The hard part about all of this is you draw the admins into a fight and then pretty much ask us to choose sides by making a decision. If we make one decision we choose that side. If we make another decision we choose the other side. We will be the bad guys no matter what we do.
Had the requests been made before the arguments and resentments it would have been no problem. It took about 2 minutes to open the spirituality forum when we saw the need because there were no fights. There was just a need. It took a couple of years to open a secular forum because every time we tried it caused more problems than solutions. We kept trying and found a way.
So now the few of us who have been tossing this around also have 2 sides and we haven't been able to reach an agreement. Starting yet a new thread which will create new resentments doesn't improve the situation.
Seems the fingers are now being pointed at the admins and it's not our fight. What you are requesting is not the problem. Working with both side to find a solution is the problem. I know it has added a heck of a lot of stress on Doug and I with everything else we have going on in our lives and on these forums and we haven't been able to solve the problem. If we back off it's not because we aren't trying. If we make this choice we lose this member. If we make that choice we lose that member.
The best solution would be for you guys to compromise and let go of the resentments and decide on a solution that would work for all of you instead of taking sides and asking us to referee.
Doug and I want what's best for all involved.
