I'm tired of the pointless bickering. I'm tired of the simultaneous demands for and discouraging of creativity. I'm tired of an atmosphere that encourages flaming. I'm tired of being dragged into disputes because of postings that are so unkind or unfair or just plain incorrect that they cannot go unanswered. Most of all, I'm tired of the insensitivity and casual cruelty that are the opposite of the principles that your telepathic alter ego espouses -- and, I think, you share.
With regret, I'm doing what Byron would do in this kind of situation. I'm walking away. Not from you. Just from involvement with the bulletin boards at this site. I'll still go to the Tuesday chat, and I'll check in here periodically to keep up with what you're doing and to see if anything has changed.
This is not my site. I don't require change, or even request it, but I do need some distance from a place that has been upsetting my stomach on a regular basis. On the other hand, I didn't want to "leave" without explaining why.
All the best,
Judith/Teityan
