12. Thanks for the thanks, but I am definitely not wading into the puddle that is GD with this.

GD is a very hostile place, especially for minorities, and as great a shame as it is to have to say this on a supposedly progressive board, but I just don't have the teaspoons to deal with the troglodytes there. I definitely don't mean any offense to you, nor am I offended myself at the suggestion, but after the last week - heck, after the last couple of months, I carefully judge whether I want to use any energy in GD. A couple of weeks ago, I woke up unable to chew because stress had caused a seizing up of the jaw muscles, and so I am trying to really de-stress. The misogyny in GD makes my stress levels skyrocket if I'm not careful. Sooo enraging, really, to read such filth on a 'Democratic' board.
