i like your rant.  you should do them more often.  ;-)    i know what you mean.  i remember quite a few dramas and some people leaving the site over petty crap last year.  i'm not familiar with many specific soap operas this year, but i'm sure there are many.  shame shame...  i will admit to you redei, sometimes i feel bad because i feel responsible for causing drama on the site with my blogs.  that's never the intenion.  i always blog about politics or whatever to stimulate thought and debate, but it ends up getting out of hand a lot of the time with the responses.  i keep telling myself that i'll give the blogs a rest because i don't like people arguing in an uncivil manner and forming certain opinions about me because of the blog content.  also, politics is just a tough subject to blog about because you're inviting passionate responses that may or may not be filtered.  however, i always manage to put up another one from time to time, ha.  this is all very ironic, by the way, because i'm not even a redhead... and i'm causing all sorts of trouble on a redhead site.  that goes along with what you are saying, though.  the redhead friend of mine who originally invited me on here is no longer a member of the site because of stupid drama.

i respect sensible peacekeepers.  thanks for being one on the site.  :-)
