Not for me

I have slowly drawn the conclusion that this forum & me are not the perfect fit. I returned for the fun & for one reason & another I'm not feeling it as I once did. It has always surprised me that I've been able to fit in, but you can't force it & rather than change I feel the best course of action is to limit my involvement. I'll see how it goes, but I expect by the middle of next year I'll have found a better balance.

I know that I've let myself down in the last few days, & have lost judgement of the intent & meaning of what others post & in turn how I react.
I can only apologise if I've overstepped the mark & offended anyone, in particular snooks. It would seem that having an opinion comes with baggage, & in the past few months I've been on the receiving end of some trash-talk & pathetic remarks, which when questioned are always denied. Having your posts scrutinized, dissected & picked over by vultures gets tiresome. In some cases these vultures don't even have a voice of their own. Undermining others is not a talent to be proud of.

I've always tried to take ownership of what & how I post, it's a pity some others don't do the same, instead of dropping bombs indiscriminately without a care where they might land & what effect they could have. Posting results in consequences.

In no way am I being driven away, I'm in control, if nothing else I'll be one less target. Alternatively, I may have become really paranoid & to a man you're all model citizens without reproach. I doubt I've got this completely wrong & it's somewhere in the middle.
