I agree with SJ’s points completely, BUT, I got 14 cents too.
1- Bottomline first. The H2 forum is an undisputed success, with increasing new active members.
2- Jason’s hands-off policy works, the proof is obvious, no reason to fix anything that works.
3- No single member is vital or relevant.
4- People leave for combination of any of the 1,000 reasons, from personal career/finance/marriage/time problem, or they just got tired of it or want to kick the addiction. Any Holier-than-thou excuse is just a front.
5- Whatever the real reason for departure is personal and not relevant to others.
6- One person’s “intelligent” is another person’s “stupidity”.
7- As we speak, we are currently under Jeep trolls attack, that too shall pass, as the Discovery, Rover or whatever attacks in the past.
8- The only reason that attack is ongoing is because our own members enjoy the engagement and fueling the attack.
9- It is futile to try to regulate other members words and actions by your standard. It is like sending in the Marines to Liberia or Palestine, any peace you bring is only momentary, you, your motive and standard will be the target in due time.
10- Those who claimed to be offended by the troll wars were part of other troll wars in the past.
11- When one is involved in a troll war, one finds the war is just and worthwhile; when one is not involved, one finds the war annoying and degrading.
12- People who don’t go off-road have been attacked and insulted 100s of times with rarely anyone offered any rebuttal.
13- I never seen anyone make fun of people who go off-road.
14- By choice, I do not read most of the posts and topics.
Let it be.
