I remember the past, which unfortunately is not the present. I remember the Tribe where people communicated openly and freely, with an intent to help and learn. That isn't the tribe that I discovered after hearing that "the old tribe is back."

What I discovered are tribes full of trolls, who do little more than posture, insult, and stir up trouble and disharmony.

I'd hoped that the original spirit might have returned to Tribe, but can clearly see that there are far too many shallow, pained people for this to be a healthy community.

I wish all of my dear Tribe friends the best. If you see this, I'm planning on exploring The Well, where the lack of pseudonyms reduces problems with trolling. Look for me on Facebook (Christopher Earle, with a QR code for an avatar), although I don't spend much time there.
