I think I might need to take a break from DU for a while.

[Cabcere]

Some stuff has gone down here today that is very, very disturbing and discouraging to me, and while I know I shouldn't let crap like that get me down, I also think I'm going to need some time to process it and maybe re-evaluate my opinion of what it means to be a progressive. :( I'm not giving up just yet, but there have been some major eye-openers for me today. Normally I'd just stay out of GD and hang out in the Lounge exclusively, but this time I don't think that will work, knowing now how some people feel. Anyway, I'll probably be back in a few days (or maybe weeks), and I don't know if anybody would have even noticed my absence, lol, but I thought I'd just let you all know anyway. :hi: Peace.

1. everyone needs

a break from DU once in a while.

Heck, everyone needs a break from reality for a while! (Which is what the lounge if for . . . )

Not everyone is alike. Opinions and feelings and beliefs and proclivities abound in DU. And one of these is not like the other.

Come back soon.
