A new board with Hardliner joining as he said he would will be the making of this place. He can fight his own corner in a respectable way but I think the righty/lefty divide will evaporate and the topics of discussion will be varied and well debated. I will hazard a guess the tantrums and repetitive tft will stop with the endless casting up of stuff and petty grudges
Just my forecast 
I think so. And we can craft a covenant of bylaws which everyone can buy into, with rare breaches considered a betrayal by the whole community.
