I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound so dramatic. And in hindsight I should have shut up about shutting up. This really isn’t about taking my toys and going home. I have participated in this thread pretty much since its inception and it feels bad to discover how it has changed. And that’s about ME, meaning it feels bad for ME, not necessarily for anyone else. I am not saying there is anything bad in differing opinions. It's just this thread had never been, for me, about a place to debate differing ideology. There are lots of threads to do that. It felt more like a convergence. A place to bear witness; to share something quite magical. But that time has past. It just isn’t going to work for me any longer. I don’t believe I have anything constructive to offer. I can’t even figure out how to engage in the conversation. I realized this while trying to address how Occupy Oakland is terrorizing school children. But I hope the thread continues to be a productive outlet for others.
