i would hope he would reconsider leaving. we are a diverse group, from many backgrounds, with many views. at times we fuss and fight, but when needed we are always there for each other. we also learn and share together, draw for each other's knowledge and strengths. the views on the police are formed by time, and interaction with them. they make their own reputations with us, good or bad. and as they bash us on their forums, the same occurs here. we must remain focused on the good, and disregard the rest, that will keep us participating, and envolved here. the loss of even one affects us all. I would suggest the person who desires to leave, seek out some open carriers, at an event staged in his area, build the social contacts, and social interactions, a meet would provide. see first hand the number of friends who this site has brought into their lives, and the outstanding quality of the people who share common beliefs. please stay, you need to put in, to get back, and the opportunity to make new friends, and continue your beliefs exists here, and is yours for the taking!
