If they did ask that, it wasn't straightforward enough that I caught that.
To be fair, there were a lot bloated posts that were just generally disgruntled but didn't make any specific demands.
Is that why Lanny was being so brutal in this thread? Well if it makes him feel better, if I ever do it again he won't be included then.

I thought about suggesting a list of consideration, that is a living list of people expressing their exclusion from the WOS. Then I thought of how that could be further misconstrued to target those posters.
It's kind of a catch-22. Be included and feel targeted, say you're not and then be targeted for that. In the end that's essentially why I took opposition to your idea. There's no easy way to not harm CP community members so I couldn't get on board.
Generally I feel this community is the best thing I am and have been a part of in the last ~15 years. I haven't noticed a degradation in quality that some have expressed, including the OP.
I still rely on CP for everything from news, discussion, help, and information as I did when I first joined. I simply notice less socially regressive attitudes than I did when I started lurking in 2007, which is a marked difference from social media platforms.
CP is the exception to a growingly alarming social media landscape. I love this community. I guess I've just grown and learned what to ignore or engage in as I've been a member.
