How many DUers have left or been booted because of DU politics?

2. I have to really pick and choose what I can take

from day to day. It all depends on how I feel. I rarely go into the primary forum, I cannot take it anymore. I find I like people less and less as we go forward so I break away.

I have a lot of friends, like you do, after so many years. I take time to drop out and look away when I get upset. YMMV but that helps me a lot. I was almost entirely gone for several years. I am sure nobody missed me but I did miss some friends who were mostly gone when I came back.

The fluctuations are tougher now for me as I get older, it feels too much like High School fighting with many posters here and harder to find those who really want to talk about things. I include myself there, I am tempted from time to time to get in the mud and be stupid about it all.

I find it is nice to keep my old friends here and leave now and then or just not post. Every person like you who leaves make this place a bit sadder and less informative.
