Yes and no.  In those rooms, you sometimes have to be your own moderator, using the wonderous /ignore command as appropriate.  Sometimes, those who run them are the "mods"...  and they don't have the requirement of being fair and impartial as WizOs do.  Will we miss new role players?  Yes.  But there are sure to be others we will meet.I stand up and say what I say because I feel here my opinions and thoughts mean something.  It has constantly been said here that what drives this place is the community.  Without us, there is nothing.  Yes, people will come here on their own, but it's amazing what word of mouth will do.  I myself have brought friends to this site, and I'm not the only one.  Maybe people think I'm being too emotional.  Maybe people think I'm being unyielding.  Maybe I am.  But there is a point where you have to put your foot down and say enough is enough.  For me, this is such a point.And to be honest: If you don't stand up and say something when you're bothered/irritated/or otherwise upset with a person or company, how can you expect them to change their ways?</blockquote>
