I think babble has lost its sense of fun. The meds board feels stifled. I've wanted to post more but I've had the feeling it wouldn't be welcome in the current atmosphere. I'm having this problem like some of the others where I can't think of anything to say that won't be picked apart, stamped on, ridiculed etc, or be uncivil. There's no spontenaiety any more - it's dead. Been strangled to death. The meds board in particular has felt a very heavily defended left-brained male-dominated territory of late.
I suppose we could try to reignite the embers, but I have a feeling someone would just come along and pour cold water on it. People say this has happened before, and posting eventually picked up again. I don't think it's the end of babble. It is getting awfully boring though.
