Good by my friends...

Over the past few weeks I've asked myself; "self, why do I continue to do this?"

For the past couple of years I have read and commented on many pieces. Of late I have found myself beginning to feel...toxic.

I will miss you all. I won't name names for fear of leaving ANYONE out. Just know, even those I take exception too, thanks for being around, you've made me think.

However, I must move on. Spiritually, this is not a good place for me to be any more. I'm not going to fall into the trap of placing the blame on any of you...I'm just going to say; it's not a place that is healthy for me.

I can't do with the sniping, attacking, name calling, lack of civil discussion and all of the other things I am starting to take part in. It's not the sort of behavior I want be known for.

I find most of you to be fine, intelligent and sincere people. I'm sorry I can't always see it in the writing and that I can't respond in that manner.

It's been a fun ride.........
