35. I have just been watching the whole thing from afar.

It is like a bunch of monkeys flinging poo at each other.

The whole thing has gotten so stupid I don't even waste my time with trying to interact.

The ratio of people who just want to push buttons and argue for fun, to people who want to have any kind of meaningful discussion, has gone so far out of whack it isn't worth it anymore.

I have better things to do than roll around in the mud with assholes on the internet.

DU has become a parody of itself. The people running the place don't give a fuck. Why should I?

Unless Skinner has a come to Jesus moment over DUs misogyny problem, I don't see using DU for anything but LBN to see what's going on in the world. And HoF now and again.

The "community" aspect of it is dead and buried. RIP. Endless subtreads of people who hate each other sniping back and forth ad nauseum - mods use to kill that shit. I hate that shit, and we don't have anybody to do "cleanup in aisle 9" anymore.

Fuck it. I totally get why rq bailed.
