Unfortunately Jalo, what has happened on IHL threads is quite common ole mate.
Those of us that have been here for years, existed within a group that shared a commonality of respect, learning and growing confidence in our company.
What happens invariably (as has happened here) is a handful of clowns arrive who are hell bent on creating division and unrest but are either oblivious to it and in some cases perpetrate it and no matter what is pointed out to them, it does not cease until the wonderful thread culture is almost destroyed.
The really kind and valuable folk here keep asking me to continue to share the emotions and thoughts from my meetings and phone calls I get to experience as a major holder but it just becomes too much and same as you, people like me simply stop posting as I did previously for years on end.
It's not nice to just stop but who wants to be a dart board for faceless heroes.
There are truly massive months ahead Ja, don't lose faith mate - just lose the clowns.
