Time to Move On?

The content of this blog is moving in a direction that makes me uncomfortable. The focus on issues is giving way to complaints and attacks on individuals.

Since I'm the founder of this blog, I feel somewhat responsible for managing the tone of the discussion. Lately, the rhetoric has become so overwhelmingly negative and personal that I no longer want to be associated with this blog.

I'm not sure what to do. My options, as I see them are either to take a hiatus and let the other contributors continue to post threads, or shut the thing down and let the other contributors start their own blogs. I'm inclined to exercise the second option but would be interested in hearing the perspective of others.
