Leaving? Over a different point of View? Really?!?
I noticed JtC’s comment on a certain subject about folks packing up and checking out of this site over contentiousness in discussions.
Huh? I actually believed this site was For Those With Opposing Views.
If you’re gonna get Huffy ‘cause someone disagrees with you, Maybe you.should rethink your claims of Not being a Snowflake and what you really expect out of this Site.
A funhouse Reflection of Reality?
An Echo chamber?
Daily Kult?
Don’t get me wrong, I’d much prefer people take time off than people throwing flags(of Whatever sort) and/or cussing each other.
But this is lame.
We All have a backstory no one here is aware of.
We All have our ‘triggers’.
And yet, people just gotta be Pissy about shit. Damn! And take it personally?!?
It’s the Internet, Moranz! Taking this shit personally is like taking CB radio talk personally., you Choose to be offended at your Peril!
Now, I would bold, and underline, Choose, but I ain’t got the energy.
Someone keeps posting ‘we all suck’ for not doing more to stop the war-and I agree-we Do suck.
Others post denigrating comments about Bernie-I disagree.
Some post in favor of the Gov’t explanation on 911-I disagree.
Some post for/against dRumph, the Shadow Gov’t, Deep State, what have you.
The point being(finally! He comes to the Point!), I guess, that we All have something to share, to teach, to persuade, to enlighten with others And Ourselves
You want to take your marbles and go home? Okay.
The World just got a little dimmer. Thanks.

I put off telling you how much I've enjoyed reading your long and thoughtful and sometimes inspiring comments in recent months. I'm probably not the only one.
IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
Uh,
bye, Felicia?
Vaya con Dios?
What?

@CS in AZ This is just to say, I
This is just to say, I wish you hadn't gone, and if I'd been aware of this diary, I would have urged you to stay.
I disagree that because a place is online, it must therefore have large signs stating Caveat Emptor and Enter At Your Own Risk all over it.
The idea I had when I first conceived this place was of a place that was, at once, open to diversity of opinion and civil. Most importantly, it would be a place without systematic, institutional bullying, and as free from bullying in general as we could make it.
Being open to diversity of opinion/being supportive of freedom of speech is only one of the three legs of this stool. That is my opinion, as one of the founding members.
I'm only sorry I wasn't here to give it when it mattered. Thanksgiving intervened.

Extraordinary.
People will find ways to saw off the branches they're sitting on, and the bizarre "discussion" that your essay has sparked is stark evidence of this sad fact.
The earth is a multibillion-year-old sphere.
The Nazis killed millions of Jews.
On 9/11/01 a Boeing 757 (AA77) flew into the Pentagon.
AGCC is happening.
If you cannot accept these facts, I cannot fake an interest in any of your opinions.
