i totally understand.

i don't have as much of myself invested here as i did due to the fact that i never know how my stuff is going to be received. i used to try to keep things so "fair and balanced" and be as supportive as i know how to be. after having my hands slapped one too many times, i've quit worrying about the health of PC and can pretty much take it or leave it. it's not the first thing that i check in the morning.

I believe that there can be a thread that is a completely wild loose cannon, insinuations/subtle jabs and such, and it will stay for days and then one of us can start something that is defined and focused and bam! it's gone. it is an individual interpetation of what is supportive and what isn't. and it seems to me that the line is getting more blurry by the day.

it doesn't take too much for me to lose interest and move on to doing something else........reading the news, etc. i don't like feeling that way, but i do think i need to protect myself first and foremost. i wasn't that way a few months ago. and i have friends that i feel i should help protect. and that makes me feel like we're in junior high again.........i threw my pompoms away a long time ago.

and i'm also sorry for our feelings..all of us...who crossed that blurry line and didn't mean to...didn't know we were doing it...hadn't dreamed of doing it and BAM! the PM comes flying.....
