@rnitsch I agree - and when I left I somewhat stomped my feet and slammed the door to make a statement. Many have echo'd your comment and asked to be sure I'll re-engage.

I likely will re-engage, but it was helpful for me to unaffiliate for a while, get a clearer perspective.
It has also been helpful to be able to engage in discussion: "Hey, I agree there's problems, I'm not one of 'them'"
