It is clear you are not knocking them, but freely stating your observations. Thank you. We have all seen our scene change and grow over time. That's what happens when you are a regular for longer than you'd sometimes like to admit.
However, those changes can be influenced. Fleeing from the problem does not make it go away(recent report from the National Institute of Duh.) Keep coming out. Encourage your friends to do the same. Stand your ground in defiance! Make your night what you want it to be. Carpe Noctem...
If you're still having trouble, and it isn't a security issue, please come and seek me out. I will either cheer you up(in an appropriately dark & gothy way) or start freak dancing, ass-shakin', kiss blowin' or whatever...
