I've been staying out of this, but something you said is forcing me to add some input.

"I know I'm not welcome on DU."

It breaks my heart that you think this. None of us have to agree with each other 100% of the time. We're human beings allowed the right to our own opinions, beliefs, fears, etc. Someone you get into an argument with today could be your strongest supporter the next. DU is like that. Hell, my friends are like that IRL.

Many of us have been hurt. We all deal with it in our own way.

Whatever you choose to do, please do it for the right reasons and not because you don't think you're welcome here. No one should feel that way. Well, except for the occasional RW troll.

Take a break and think about the good things here.
