Don:
This forum was NOT created because of you, or frieto or any individual.
I'm NOT a part of AA; I don't think it's a cult, (rediculous idea!); and you and I know each other well enough for me to call you on your stuff.
Don, MG has a good point. Your having some type of feeling that SR revolves around you. It doesn't.
You served your country. For that, you should be proud. To hell with what others say. You know you did your best at the time. That's all we can do. Ever.
But, to leave SR because there's a new forum is absurd! You didn't leave when we created the spirituality forum; the cafe; the follies. If you leave over this, you are only biting off your nose to spite your face. Because, this forum is NOT about YOU.
And it never was.
I love you Don. I hope you are well. Most importantly, I hope you will sleep on this idea and realize that leaving SR is not what you want to do.
You're family, Don. Hang in, even in the tough times. That's what famlies do.
Shalom!
