Formerly we entertained a number of participants who seemed angry at everything all the time while now many of them seem absent and I am wondering if that's because of the general drop in activity

Blame it on the W.E.C. (Also called the G.E.C.) - everything else is.

Formally (nor formally but qua meaning) this is a weird sentence, Dale. It's more likely the other way around. If (just a supposition) there is a drop in activity, it might be the other way around; because the angry young men have left there might be a drop in activity. ( me no see it )

I've had some angry at me, but thanks to the support of others
on the site, I won't let them drive me away now. I enjoy
this site and I learn a lot. If others don't then that is
their problem.

I don't mind the anger, but I do expect people to behave as adults and not personalize their wrath and/or use it to humiliate others. I see a great breadth of tolerance on this site, and that's one reason I like it so much. Flaming, whilst exciting, always claims at least one victim, and life's too short. JMHO. :0)

Nah it's just me being too cryptic.

I meant World Economic Crisis (Or is that Circus???)
(aka Global Economic Crisis)

Yes it does seem that our common love of words covers a multitude of diverse opinions on other matters.
