Goodness me, it's been a minute, hasn't it?
So yes, I'm still around. There was (and is) so much commentary going on out there that I was content to let others carry the load. Plus, more people wanted to see BAH GAWD! on Rhymes-with-Chase-Took (Pippin's handsome cousin) than having to navigate here.
But there are things that still need saying, from time to time, and they will be said. For instance, someone noticed that I have been cutting friends away for the last several years. Could this be true???
Yes.
Here's what it means: I'm old, I'm irascible, I'm mean, and I have decided that I want to be around people who help me self-mitigate. No, I'm not building an echo chamber, far from it. Yet I cannot ignore when some people become toxic. A sickness infects their souls, and I have neither power to heal nor grant absolution. And yes, it's sad. But am I going to be drawn further into their miasmas? No. Their paths and mine will diverge.
Hate my politics? Go ahead.
Call me an idiot? Unlikely, my IQ is probably at least a standard deviation higher than yours.
Wish harm on me, my family, or people I like? Pray you well to what god(s) you hold dear to protect you. I swore an oath the last time someone tried to actually harm my family that they would not see vengeance from me, and I have upheld that oath from that day till this one. I will not make another such oath.
