I too will miss the site. Yes many times things got a bit sideways but that is to be expected. I learned many things and was swayed to points of view I would not have thought otherwise.
As I look to the bottom of the page, again I see the vast majority of visitors are from the USA. Is it normal to have such diverse conversations on a site dedicated to, in this case Belize, so much about USA, I don't know. What I do know is, more info about Belize is shared here than any other site and from such a diverse cross section of people. The one thing in common from all adversaries is the love of Belize and its people and cultures. Having said that, differences of opinions are to be expected just as they are with the people of Belize. We aren't killing each other in the chat site, and I doubt that we would ever reach that point in a heated dispute at say BC's. We are all for the most part friends and as with our at home friends things don't always stay congenial amoung us. That too passes with time. Banter is just that, banter. We can choose to be a part of it or not. Thats the beauty of freedom and independence.
That is what sets us apart from much of the world. Just my opinion, Thanks
