The hope is that there is a middle ground. I personally have used chat enough here to know that I don't ever want to try it again. I have read enough random threads and blogs and etc. about stuff going on in chat to be sick of those as well. While I may not represent the average user, as I am a bit older, I do think that there is a quieter/lurker component to the userbase that maybe doesn't speak up alot. Also, I think that too much chat drama makes us look unprofessional to outsiders.

I really hope that this passes, as I think the shutdown is doomed. I can live with some chat activity, but would like time of peace and quiet as well.
