    OK. You guys win. I am leaving this forum. It is painfully clear from all
    the messages that most people here actually want to see the personal
    attacks, insults and flamewars continue. Those who disagree are either
    silent or have already left. Even the moderators, board of directors, and
    staff do not support my efforts to enforce the existing rules. Somehow,
    this particular virtual room has been remodeled into some sort of Fight Club
    when I wasn't looking. My desire for conversation without fighting is
    ridiculed and questioned. I apologize as I realize it is I who is out of
    place. I will pick up my virtual beverage and head for one of the many
    other virtual rooms filled with transhumanists. I know that I will see most
    of you in the non-fighting forums. To those who only participate here, I
    bid you farewell.
