    For what it’s worth, cleek, I just posted this over at the Other Place:

    Marty was right when he said every time someone leaves they take a piece of the fabric with them. It’s one thing if someone leaves because they gradually just don’t fancy it anymore, but when someone leaves because they feel hounded out, it is a fucking drag, to put it lightly.

    “For myself, they are both a pleasure to have around, other than when this topic (and its newly associated penumbras) comes up – and part of that is me getting tired of the topic generally, especially when ISTM the two people disagreeing disagreeably over it seems to have the same (or mostly the same) underlying substantive policy views on the big questions of the day.”

    This, this and thrice this. When lj said somewhere if we don’t cease and desist we’ll be left in the smoking ruins, he was right.

      thanks.

      but honestly, defending me even in the slightest just feeds her pathetic need to be the victim. don’t bother on my account.

    In the slightest is right, it was really me just mourning (again) the loss of a commentariat that in all its diverse parts felt like a community where stuff could be discussed, fat could be chewed, and good things shared. Ah well, sic transit gloria mundi, I guess.

    it is definitely a loss.

    if you all ever manage to make it into that kind of place again, let me know.
