"slowdown" and decision to "leave." Why so black and white? I think there's more to it, and it's not the name calling or the Borgs. 'Course there is a limit to how much can be rehashed (again and again)......perhaps a hiatus is more like it, but it doesn't sound that way. You don't just walk away from something that has consumed so much time and energy for so many years....maybe take a break for a while, but not make a sudden decision to just walk away.
