Yeah, I think after last night I'm going to try and take a bit of a break from this community as that exchange really drained me. I'm getting pretty exhausted with the "keep politics out of sport" crowd when it's clear that the "politics" they want to shout down is simply topics or ideas they're too uncomfortable or unequipped to discuss.

I'm used to it from the typical crowd here, but reading KFF join in was a bit disappointing. Seemed really out of character for a person that typically fosters discussion and encourages diverse viewpoints. As someone I consider a community leader that was really discouraging. I also spiraled a bit in my responses, so I'll take my share of the blame.

The entire topic of LGBTQ+ rights on the board continues to be an unsightly sore on CP. The subsequent threads and responses makes me believe taking some time away might be good for me.

I'll see you all in a minute. Be well.
