I don't agree that it would stop if Ann posted - if she said she'd thought again and will resume, her followers would be all over her like a rash, and if on the other hand she says she can't bear all this bickering and vitriol (and who could blame her?) then the thread would go on and on and on.... The site isn't about any one person or what any one group thinks. Going back to the very beginning, I found Prudie's original thread a frank and honest opinion - look where it's got us.
