Sorry that you're leaving Winston. And I'm extra sorry that you got caught up in a bollocks like this. The way I handle my world is simple: I mask out the far left and the far right as equally imbecilic and repulsive groups. That removes about 10% + 10% of the total population from my spectrum of people I will talk to. Kind of pompous of me to do this, but it sure improves quality of life - exclude th idiots, life gets better. I can do this because I'm not famous.

I do wish mainstream lefties would wake up and detach themselves from the loony left.
