I hate to see members leaving. What happened, did he walk or was he pushed ?

I agree with the point about political posts to a degree. But I also remember how some other members left because of all the rants which became personal abuse in some cases.Atticus said:I almost hate to broach this subject, but I think that VLJ lost a certian vital spark when we banned political posts. I think that many of the folks who wrote about politics were also some of the same folks who wrote the most about jackets. When those guys began to feel that they could no longer post about what was on their minds...political or otherwise...they sorta began to wander away.
But that's just my humble opinion.
I am now a fairly active member of the Fedora Lounge. I have always liked vintage hats, especially Stetson Open Roads, and the FL is a great place to learn about them. While I'll admit that there isn't much depth of knowledge on FL when it comes to vintage military jackets, nobody here can look into the crown of an Open Road and tell me when it was made....and probably wouldn't want to.

It's a very difficult balance to strike.
