I don't mean GDP. And I certainly don't mean here in GD. I mean some other web site.
As short a time as 2004 I could climb into the muck and trade punches with the best of you, and did on a regular basis. Why? Because I saw some POINT to all of this; now all I see is infighting, shit throwing, and cults of personality.
I didn't sign up for this.
I have enough bad Karma from a long life of compromise and rationalization without taking on any more of the "You are! No, YOU are! And your Momma!" that just will not stop here. Franklin Roosevelt would be raised from the dead healed of his paralysis just so he could smack most of the partisans in the mouth if he could hear the hate and dismissal: condescending condemnation, inspirational bloviating, brickbats thrown in the name of fair play.
I can't do this all the time, and this is one of the last places I in my sick co-dependency, feel connected anymore. But I'm too old for ULTIMATE FIGHTING. There isn't even an unbiased referee.
So I'm looking for suggestions. I don't care if they are "...I'll take pity on the poor old bastard..." or "...hey, my chance to send this clown and his crock of shit somewhere else to peddle his papers..." And I'm not looking for any "PLEASE STAY!"s either. I'm not LEAVING, I just can't do this all the time anymore. The venom has become toxic, and I feel like I'm being attacked from all sides by zombies who just haven't succumbed to the poison...yet.
When I came here after December 12, 2000, I was looking for solidarity and closure. For a long time, I felt that; but not so much anymore. Maybe again sometime; who knows?
So I need a place to hide about half of the time, but still talk about some issues...RATIONALLY. I'm looking for suggestions without getting somebody acting like a yahoo and telling me to not let the door smack me in the ass: after all, I'm really not leaving. I'm too much of a masochist for that: after all, I am a member of the Democratic Party.
PM's are fine. Just somewhere with PARTICIPATION without ERADICATION.
Edited to clear up a clumsy paragraph.
