Dunn,
This is not the same place it was back when I started coming here in 2015. Back then, disagreements were viewed as opportunities to grow. I cannot speak for anyone else, but I will speak for myself. There is nothing here for me any more. What was once a refuge and welcoming place is now something quite different. People don't necessarily stay where they aren't valued as anything more than a resource for newcomers.

Boat is not wrong - others need to step up. Or not. Seems like the changes had the desired effect: to drive away the undesirables. It also seems to have had the effect of unplugging the life support machine, as one friend told me, so that it will die a natural death.

Others need to step up.

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
