The truth of the matter is that I am not white - not Christian - not in a typical female profession - and there is very little that is "normal" or mainstream about me.
The seminar I attended last weekend had an entire panel on whether becoming "palatable" - accommodating mainstream comfort levels was a part of integrating b/c our race and/or issues generate so much discomfort - especially post 9/11.
I posted honestly about my issues - and have done so for 5 years. Clearly, in your assessment, in your capacity as a DB moderator and a representative of the entire DB enterprise, my thoughts rise to the level of censorship. You are not alone in your view - Beth, qoe, Karen, sadeyez and many of their friends stand firmly in support of your decision.
I am off to go hang with like minded people. I will be 43 on Thursday - it has taken me this long to learn that there is no point in arguing. The choice is to stay and accept or leave.
