Maybe 7 or 8 years ago I bowed out of this site due to some heated tensions between certain members. I see some are still here but don't seem to be active and I see some others that are still around and active. I decided to come back and I see that Alex has made some good changes to the rules likely due to the issues of the past. I always liked coming here and having meaningful discussions with rational people. It was the non rational that drove me away. I am happy to be back and look forward to re-uniting with those that I consider friends. It is also sad for me to see that some that I considered friends have passed away. Thank you to Calvin for creating the AllDeaf Memorial. Previously I was aka rockdrummer for those of you that might remember me.
