If it were me, and I found that sticking my nose in it DID NOT tend to suck me in emotionally (and that's VERY hard to pull off, even for a cold-hearted tactician like me, LOL), then I might engage in a little affairus interruptus every once in awhile. We can't CONTROL them, but there's nothing that says we have to make it EASY, or COMFORTABLE.
However, I can see it sucks you emotionally, so why even invest the energy??
