Leaving Macrumors

Good grief you are so wrong about the the feedback from Op and the response from Arn. All feedback is helpful and table-stakes for a professional business person is what you call "holding their tongue." In fact, Arn did not "hold their tongue." Arn clearly appreciated the negative feedback, given their second response was to show how they used the negative feedback to improve MR.

Edit: BTW, how does one who left MR receive friendly goodbyes?

How is my take on the feedback so wrong?

At almost every post I have been stating that OP's feedback/criticism was valid. Are you now saying that OP's feedback was invalid and I am wrong for calling it valid?

There are two parts to this. OP's feedback. I AGAIN say, I don't have any issue with that. It's valid, IMO.

The second part was about being here 20 years and posting to say they were leaving. If you don't feel that feedback/criticism is valid unless you've put X years into it, then I can't help you. And I guess we just have to hold different opinions about what OP was seeking when saying goodbye.

As far as Arn, yes, he appreciated the feedback. Again, not arguing that. What I was referencing was the goodbye - not the feedback.

Over the years I’ve seen a number of changes made and/or considered based on members’ suggestions. These suggestions made things better for the person suggesting the change while not making things worse for those who may not be in agreement with the change.

Implementing the criticism in the first post would makes things worse for those who want to see the articles in the forum they are used to seeing them in.

I think it’s more like ‘au revoir’ 😊
