Damn.
Fuck.
Iām sorry to see you go pushed away @anon67050589. If you donāt feel welcome, then the rest of us probably shouldnāt feel welcome either. I know I donāt. Not anymore.
Iām writing this down here for future reference, please, nobody reply to this. In fact, donāt even read it.
I keep hearing about racist sexist comments I rarely come across, but as a relatively privileged person Iām self aware enough to know that if everybody around you is screaming fire and heading for the exits, then Iād better not stick around.
Except the fire metaphor is just that, a metaphor, this fire, whatever it is, does not burn me, but id does consume everybody around me, it destroys everything that is beautiful about this world. It also robs meaning from my life and cheapens my existence for those hurting around me are my betters, this fire does not spare me because I am special, it spares me because I am common, and blind, and apparently deaf.
Iāll take a few days off to think about it. If I donāt outright leave now itās only because I donāt want the trollies to win.

I was too shocked at what happened in the course of 20 minutes to even process what was going on, let alone comment yesterday.
Iām sorry you were treated poorly here, and Iām sorry that the view of some of those in control has shifted from laissez-faire attitude to the feeling now where if youāve been here for long enough, itās time to be disappeared or pushed out. Your posts have been a breath of common sense for years here, and I hope our paths can cross again in the future.
Ich mache mir Sorgen um eine Eispickel in Mexiko. Der Ćbergang vom Frieden zur Gleichschaltung, ist traumatisch gewesen. Was gut ist behauptet, eine Gemeinschaft zu haben, wenn sie Menschen verbieten? Der Zweck dieses Ortes war, uns einen separaten Bereich von der grƶĆeren Webseite zu geben, weg von den Launen der Verleger, die die Kommentare nicht schƤtzten. Ich bin mit einer fĆ¼r eine Weile fertig. Vielen Dank, Yar-zon

The atmosphere here has been depressing lately. I honestly wonder how long it will be before I give up on here and move on, and yesterday felt like a big step closer to that.
I hope to see @anon67050589 around in other places.

As the great Ernie hammingway wrote, āand so it goesā. It has been the people and personalities here that made it engaging. And in the immortal words of the band Chancellor, āthe dust, it biteth yet one moreā.
Those that know, know how to reach both Liz and I. So to paraphrase the scholar and philosopher Bernie Patrick Harris, āI said good day!ā

Only just seeing this, i donāt know what thread was that broke the camelās back. Though thereās been multiple threads lately where discussion was fairly unpleasant so it seems that it would have happened sooner or later.
Chgoliz you will be missed. I canāt speak for other people but myself but i have been trying very hard lately to be mindful of the kind of comments i post. Iāve tried sticking up for some people with opinions that ended up with them being drowned in a lot of negativity. But i fully get the frustration that you mustāve been feeling that made you tell yourself that enough was enough. I can only hope that maybe you will come back in time, but if not know that i will miss having you around.
Iām just some random online dude, but at least here weāre part of a community. Just as you were, you always have a place here.

I dunno, Iāve not yet seen people kicked out by the hosts for saying their peace. Repeating their peace, harping on it, and placing blame for the lack of it on the hostsā¦ thatās always been ejectable.
That said, I think it is both reasonable and unfortunate that @anon67050589 has chosen to leave. I did so for 60 days, at my own choice, and not in protest, just to disengage for a while in something I care about but do not control.
The real irony is, if we were ever to chose moderators from the community, @anon67050589 is who Iād have nominated.

Iāve never been very active here but even my usage has dropped off since the purges and having a recent post get deleted because i dare criticise the PTB.
