I, too, am not looking forward to the primaries for that exact same reason. I have been a member since 2002, but I haven't really been active much until the last 3-4 months. I have 2000 posts, and 350 of them in the last 90 days, because I decided I had to try before I gave the site up. And I have tried to be a reasonable voice, to explain, to be a teacher. But enough is enough. I am starting to have stress reactions which are partly caused by DU. I don't really need this in my life. But I'm giving Skinner a chance to explain himself, because I feel that is fair. We'll see how that goes.
