why is it that nobody can just have or do something that they can enjoy without somebody else mucking it up? I don't follow every little thing that goes on here at RR, because I do happen to have a life outside of this place. But when I do escape to RR for a break from the real world to a place that I have enjoyed escaping to for a couple of years I find that the same pettiness and crap that I was trying to escape from is now here also. I don't know the whole story behind several recent departures here at RR, but I guess that I have become delusional in my old age in thinking that I could or had found a place that was (even though there have been "disputes" here, it was still a) fun place to escape to. Have we PC'd ourselves into a corner and drowned ourselves in "politics" where we can no longer even enjoy our past times or hobbies without fear of treading on the wrong person"s toes? I understand that there must be some order kept to chaos, but at what cost? Those at the top of the food chain may censor me for my thoughts, but I thought RR was supossed to for fun and learning and sharing our creativity. Maybe George Orwell was much wiser than we gave him credit for. I will still check in to see what every body is up to, but sadly without the enthusiasm I had in the beginning. To those who have recently left us, and those who have curtailed their participation in protest, I salute you and wish you well.
