There are occasions when I feel irked by some of the things I read on the forums. I know that I especially don't like it when discussions get heated, and neither side is willing to back down. That's usually when I feel the need to take some time away from the forums, otherwise it just drags my mood down.
For what it's worth, I'm not so sure that it had been Robert124's intention to spark a conversation about 'woke', or at least that's not how I had interpreted his post.
It deffo IS NOT an attempt to spark a conversation about "woke"!
Who wants all those silly arguments??
Stay the course Pegg, you are a valued member here with a skill that actually brings people a little joy.
Some threads attract certain people, and have a certain flavour, other threads do not.
If you can see other peoples differences as THEIR PROBLEM, not yours, it's easier to just shake your head when the annoyng ones pop up in a clump, and leave them to it.
Is not learning and practicing social skills the WHOLE effing AUTISTIC PROBLEM??
Do we not constantly complain about the "intolerance of the normies"??
Why stay you might ask??
I learned a secret on ZH back when it was an unimaginably free place to express yourself.
Even the posters I felt were absolutely, irredeemably, "first up against the wall when the revolution happens" if you viewed their output long enough, eventually posted something that taken in isolation would have made me think, "this is my sort of person".
At the point when I can find something in common with someone who otherwise spews vile garbage, I get a glimpse of why hating on someone because of their views is so silly.
I feel you should at least wait until they come for your children en masse before hating on a group, and wait until they come at you directly, before offering hostility to strangers.
