Tom's Cafe history / Split

Metrosexual is the current term for a dandy. ;)

From memory:
Tom's Café split into the Café and The Atrium when the braveheart/freestyle flame wars happened. (Very acrimonious!)
Things cooled off and went smoothly for a while.
Then The Atrium changed from freestle to trans-gender, (Chris decided to become Christine), and a bunch of freestylers moved back to Tom's.
The flames started again. Tom had passed due to cancer and was not there to stop the fighting.
XMarks starts up and there is a mass exodus of bravehearts from Tom's to XMarks.

The thing that annoyed me the most about Tom's and promted me to leave there for good was the freestylers pushing a "cause" and demanding we all MUST be part of it. It was beginning to remind me of the Monty Python lumberjack song.
