Threecups makes a valid point.  In recent weeks in particular and I have been aware of it for well over a year.  Anyone who says anything negative about Hilary regardless of whether their point is valid or not, is immediately attacked by her posse of defenders.  It has gotten out of hand.  I suspect that fact alone has pushed many away from the board. If people want to make the board better the posters saying thicken your skins up have an excellent point.  Certain groups aren't very tolerant of opinions differing from their own.
