I haven’t been around there in quite some time due to staying busy with other things, and when I pop back in I don’t stay as much as I used to. I think that you’re part of a growing trend…there are more useful ways to spend time.

But just out of curiousity…which four inboxes made the cut?

I can’t believe noone responded to this post!
I am so sorry to see you go, Dr. Mani. It’s a shame that people are not able to let themselves be helped by someone like you who has the biggest heart I’ve encountered coupled with knowledge (and willingness to help). Darn shame. For us.
For you I’m sure it’s the right thing to do. Time is so valuable and I’m very impressed to see you cutting down. The Warrior Forum is addictive and very often a waste of time. Watching the various dramas play out…
I’m going to miss you but quite honestly, I’m sure you’re doing the right thing!
Now let’s see if you can stick to your commitment…It’s hard to stay away from that place!

Dr. Mani, all I can say is that I’m happy for you. Obviously, we have different sentiments about the Warrior Forum but I bristled at the place for what I experienced as a hive mentality. And there were really just so many more places on the web where people could go and freely speak their minds without concern of retribution of having that “top-heavy” command structure deleting and censoring posts all day.

I know that you have a different style and brand than do I and have to walk a different line in these matters but just the same, I’m glad to see you shed that baggage. In fact, that explains why you seem a little lighter and happier to me than I once imagined.

In the web 2.0/social media world, there’s a lot more room to turn around inside one’s self and so there’s less of the hostility that comes from feeling cramped or “identified.”

Best wishes on your new and lighter direction,
Sam
