Though this is disappointing to me individually, I'm a big boy and will move on to another community in hopes that there will be a more satisfying result.

Please don't leave!!!!   You contribue a great deal here :)

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
