In reply to the discussion: What ever happened to Pro Sense? [View all]hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)198. This is one of the ugliest threads I have seen and I have seen plenty of ugly threads.
With attitudes like this it is no suprise that ProSense and other no longer feel welcome here.
Disgraceful behavior here from some usual suspects and others I did not expect.
I think peer pressure, group think, and alert stalking are making it hard to stay here.
Over the last 2 weeks I added many members to my ignore list. I just expanded it again after the uglyness of this thread.
I hate using ignore and I know I won't use it for too long but for now it is the only way to help remove the uglyness.

Prosense was organized, but her canned answers often laughably fell short or were off-topic.
