It's not a goodbye, but a farewell. I'll be back someday, I am sure, but I am sick of the holier-than-thou, smarter-than-thou, sanctimonious comments that permeate this site. There are some great diaries lately, and some stinkers (I had one yesterday), but I think the quality of diaries is very high.
Mostly, however, the comment sections are a waste of time and so frustratingly arrogant and abusive. And if the interactive portion of Daily Kos is totally annoying, then there's really no point to coming here. This is supposed to be a community but instead it's become an echo chamber where orthodoxy is determined by whomever has the most time to post dismissive or abusive comments.
So farewell. I'll be back every once in a while to see if things changed, particularly after this nomination battle is over. Sometimes if I have a non-candidate diary I may post it. But mostly I really don't like how I feel when I wander into the comments any more, and the easy way to fix it is not to wander that neighborhood anymore.
