I'll join in with the others in requesting that OFD reconsider his departure.
We need honest posters who stand by their convictions. I may not always agree with OFD (or any other) but I do value his posts.
Any post, as long as it's not a banned subject, doesn't involve personal attacks, vendettas or blatantly false information is valuable. It is literally the point of this whole site. Escort/Client Community Information Exchange
IMHO I think the board will recover from all this recent drama, in time. Effective, impartial and consistent moderation will make the process faster, if it keeps going like it has been, it'll take longer. Time will tell. A big part of the problem, most likely (IMHO disclaimer) is that there is a certain amount ego involved on both sides. It's just human nature and it almost always makes shit worse.
At the risk of becoming a broken record, the responsibility for the mess this has all become rests squarely with the moderators, and no one else can "fix" it. I personally do not care if it gets fixed by the current moderators or if new mods must be appointed. Whatever is best for the community as a whole.
I think It's time for me to go re-read and brush up on the community guidelines.
