I've found that with the absence of two members that everyone knows and who shall remain nameless (they were/are very opinionated and posted obsessively here) that the atmosphere is so much more pleasant. I'm glad they are gone.
There's a long distance hikers facebook page that I have belonged to for a while until the libertarian types pretty much took it over.. including one of those not to be named individuals I speak of above. So I just deleted the group.
With a kinder gentler whiteblaze atmosphere.. it appears the moderators are a little less busy and might even be getting some hiking in! :)
I've also found that it's easier and much more pleasant to not engage with the argumentative types or those with really extreme views. Nothing will change them. There are plenty of pleasant quality folk here on WB that I can give my attention to them by being judicious on what and where I post.
I might even start hanging out here a bit more often!
