2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I know no one will care and I know this will get just REAMED [View all]tymorial
(3,433 posts)33. I posted something similar but then I found ignore and trash thread.
I was ready to leave because the behavior on this site is deplorable. The petty childish tantrums and personal attacks for daring to question is tiresome. There is a lack of consistency that I find incredibly hypocritical but it isn't going away. Sometimes I grow tired enough to quit all together but then I will see someone who is able to engage in intelligent discussion without allowing emotionalism and the "narrative" get in the way. It gives me hope.. so I stick around.
