Based on Dolly, last line... it sounds like this is a done deal.
Maybe we should go start our own thread?
Right now.
Jump ship?
Well, let's wait and see what she says first. I'm hoping she reconsiders if and when she sees that we're protesting.
I can't commit to anything at this point. Until I know where things are going with my job, I'm not in a position to be part of the organizing force of anything. Furthermore, without the folks pinged on this post, I don't think a "younger singles thread" would have the energy to survive. Within a month, the "younger" thread would be dead. Without some of the younger people to serve as hosts, I'm not sure whether Dolly will find folks to host the "older" thread each week. Without some control on younger folks visiting the "older" thread, we'd all be back on Dolly's thread (assuming that she found hosts), and the people who weren't comfortable with the young folks would be uncomfortable again. I'd vote to wait a little longer to see what's going to happen. Besides, I'm not sure what management would think of another "specialty" thread.
