There is something very cathartic about deleting 11 years worth of posts and comments....

I would have accepted it.. Not anymore. They burned this bridge.

My general experience is that anyone who claims an ideology is ipso facto imposing the opposite of their claimed belief on others. So given how I bristle when people do that, I get the feeling this community isn't for me. I don't need to read between the lines to see how it is already playing out here in this very thread. Anyone can see you are being brigaded, even if you just didn't agree with the terminology being used. Despite the words, this doesn't seem like safe space for civil disagreement.
