Don't you care about them? The principle of good citizenship should tell us that we have to consider the other members too. RGCC sounds strangely like the kind of group you are craving. There is not "too much order and rules", you are free to say anything you want to and I think you have a whole lot more diversity of members there. In fact I know there are members there that cannot be here, because they are much happier in a setting with no rules. And yet I am sure you would be happier here than there and you are thriving in THIS setting. You are one of our best members. Why is that? - Don
