Quill - the reason I don't always comment is for fear of sounding toxic.. and yet, I read so much aggression in some comments on the threads you cited here. It feels really as though we have grown to self-censor - we have started to believe we are toxic for simply holding an opinion (some opinions). In reality, it is more likely just healthy debate.. but we come away feeling that we have been toxic. The aggression that is permitted to come from certain quarters without t receiving any calling out, is quite alarming. It has come to a point were one no longer gets engaged.. no longer even reading debates, because one becomes tempted to get involved, and such involvement is almost always detrimental.

I want to join your discord if I may.
