Well, so much for that forum.

I just unsubscribed from the newsgroup in which I've probably posted more messages than any other in the past couple of years: alt.sysadmin.recovery. It seems that discussing gun control in there is highly frowned upon, because it sparks long discussions in which nobody's mind is changed...but that doesn't stop folks from posting anti-gun screeds. It does, however, mean that whenever I answer that kind of thing, or post my own opinions, I get hammered for it. I've finally had enough.

I'm saddened at the loss of a forum where I've been welcome, especially since feeling welcomed is something that I haven't had a lot of over the years, and so I feel like I'm cutting myself off from friends...but I just couldn't take it any more.
