I was under the impression, apparently mistakenly, that everyone came over to this forum because they didn't want to act like the old forum did, but it seems that isn't the case at all. The old forum appears to conduct itself much better than this one. No one goes to the old forum and whines about this one. No one on the old forum denigrates this one.
Don't like the term "unprofessional"? No sweat - choose the one you prefer. How about "impolite" or "unseemly", or "whiny", or just plain "purposeless" and "meaningless" in any context that is remotely positive for this forum.
So let's try another approach - I still belong to the old forum, which contains some expert and very exciting stuff that is markedly absent from this forum. As a member in good standing of the old forum, I don't like the constant openly expressed negative and derogatory attitudes towards it, and this is now a formal complaint. Knocking other forums is not the purpose of this forum, unless somebody is lying.
You left. Get over it and move on.
Is that better? Because it works quite well for me.
