I haven't much to add as I detest getting involved in these arguments, however I will say this. Everyone here is an adult and anyone feeling the forum is holding them back is free to leave or take breaks at any time. No one is coerced into staying here, far from it. Members have always been advised to take breaks and to have a life apart from here. From what I gather, most here do have lives - families, employment, school and so forth - and come here only when they can. If anyone feels held back, they are holding themselves back, plain and simple. It is far easier to point the finger at the forum when the real problem lies within oneself.
