Leaving the forum for a few reasons. Might eventually come back, but I dunno. Despite having grown up in an absurdly right-wing family, the cream of the crop of a backwards, biggoted culture, I managed to see how backwards my upbringing was and be the first in generations of my family not to be openly racist and hateful towards negros, gays, liberals, and all those other things bible-belters hate.

Despite this it seems that I find myself unable to post on this forum without being targetted by a virtual bukakke of "you're a feminist, racist, ableist, oppressive, biggoted idiot fuck" usually started by Liz and then joined by 1d4+1 goblins.

So Im going to take some time to consider my posting habits. Maybe I really am just totally in the wrong here. If so, my bad, Im sorry, really. That said, Im not going to stick around if I can't open my mouth without every word being taken in the worst possible way to such an extreme that it seems intentional, then crucified for it. Later.
