I have not been active in ages...
I just came from the Antiracists thread (skimming it, mind you)
and to be honest,
the whole thing reminded me of trying
to have a conversation with
my uber Republican uncle;
the only right side was his
and
he never heard or gave any consideration to
any other side.
I don't blame you for taking off
if your other experiences were simliar.
THe whole thing was rather disheartening
esp. when there seemed to be a de-escalation and agreement
and someone started back up again
on the same thing.
At any rate,
take care.
