Hasn't worked for me for the second straight day. |

I assume that you mean:
http://www.thehighroad.org/ because THR.org is Texas Health Resources The High Road is working fine for me.

Thanks ilbob. Guess I'm one of the filtered ones at this point.
Sorry for the confusion. I meant thehighroad.org. Thought most were familiar enough with the acronym. I'm aware of the .us version as well. Thanks. |

We are simply not going to have that history replayed on TFL. This is one of those emotionally charged, everyone-grab-a-sword disagreements that divides and accomplishes nothing. If you want to knkow the details, you will need to wait until it is back up and go there to read all about it, but not here.

http://thehighroad.us has a full (although obviously somewhat one-sided) public explanation of the dispute.
http://thehighroad.org has, in effect, an information blackout on the issue. Threads mentioning thr.us are typically disappeared. There are pros and cons of each approach. Draw your own conclusions. That said, policy at THR.org is dictated by a few; most of the remaining mods are simply trying to better the community by remaining, and do not publically support or disagree with THR.org policy in that regard.
