Lo, my point about Exile was that you and anyone else were and remain welcome to share your views there. I never said your appearance was required. But if you shoot spitballs at the folks over there, some of whom have said good-bye over here or been led to believe that they will be censored if they speak their minds here, it might be nice to go to where the people are to shoot your spitballs at closer range. Instead, you stay away and complain that your point of view is not represented. Well, who will represent your point of view if not you?
Lots of the disaffected care very deeply about Erato and still have genuine regard for it. This is a lovers' quarrel, I think, which doesn't mean that the occasional dinner plate isn't shattered on the kitchen floor. There could be no quarrel without high regard, but it takes two to kiss and make up. So far, the reconciliation isn't going smoothly, with a moderator on this thread branding me a person who tells lies and no one on behalf of Erato showing any sort of sympathy for the views of members who for years have contributed their time, their hearts, their minds, and their money.
