Sincerely, I need to disengage from the forum at this time.

Hopefully for along, long time.
I would vote for a time period measured in eons.

I started a thread to discuss the value of cultural diversity:
Something to think about (music, culture, ethnic identity, religion)
The very first post was a complaint about a word that I didn’t even use. It had nothing to do with what could have been an enlightening discussion, but the thread immediately sank into another argument about the Left/Right political dichotomy.

I felt it was a very "enlightening" discussion. You posted a comment which was a perfect setup/intro for my comment. I wasn't about to let that golden opportunity go to waste.

I detest the term "world music". It is a blanket term, a wet blanket that is too small. It will leave you cold. Honestly, I think it is condescending and patronizing.

I feel the same way about the term "leftist", which is thrown around this forum (by a few members) with reckless abandon. Anyone who isn't alt-right is immediately categorized as a leftist. I don't understand the mentality of people who are so narrow-minded.

Jake apparently agrees!

Adrift.....or more to the point, mired in the Sargasso sea.. of politics .
Having said that, I have from day 1 as a member here, stated that once I press 'submit reply' the thread is not mine but belongs to the Fiero community at large and is free to go where that sea of voices (text) takes it. I still believe that.
Little drops of water, little grains of sand
Make a wide, wide ocean in a lonely land
When a new ship anchors and she don't appear
I make the ocean wider with another tear
Rockin', rollin' ocean
With your briny foam
Bring my sweetheart back to me
Bring my darlin' home
...............................................................
The lights in the harbor
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea
Sea of heartbreak, lost love an' loneliness
Memories of your caress, so divine
I wish you were mine again, my dear
I am on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
(Sea of heartbreak, heartbreak)[This message has been edited by maryjane (edited 10-21-2023).]

I think it is great when a thread wanders, just like natural conversation.
My objection was to intentional, incessant deflection.
