If Newman decides to leave permanently, then we have to respect his decision. I would prefer to see him return, even though he lost his temper with Yacov and Mills. Not that I am excusing what Newman wrote. I think he was wrong. But he did contribute to the forum a great deal, and I think most of us like him. If he comes back, great. If not, we respect his right to do as he wishes. But let's not turn this into a big soap opera. Newman is an adult, and he can leave if he wants to.
