With this diary, I am permanently signing off from the Daily Kos. I have come to the conclusion that staying here serves no purpose for me other than to get into arguments. I have fundamental philosophical differences with this site’s leadership and most of its current users and cannot endorse the goals of this site anymore.

The level of vitriol directed toward diarists who do not support Hillary Clinton is over the top, and for better or worse I respond with my own anger. This is not healthy, and not a course I plan to follow anymore.

I wish you all well, and will pursue my blogging hobby somewhere more congenial.
