Dank Harry voor je, bevestigende, bericht.

I quit again.

This forum is in some respects asocial. I feel too much social pain which makes it almost impossible to participate.
It deforms me. In fact I tend not to listen anymore to classical music.

It's only for folks who want warm chatter, like if it's consumption, like if it's more of a market than a community although I believe it's natural behaviour too. The fact is that individuals, like me, can easily feel to be excluded. That exclusion is real, in some ways factual, of which many are, assumingly, aware. Then they must adapt, and regain standing, and I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna play that game.

Of course there are limits to a digital space. Of course not anybody can be likeminded, but I think we must prevent exclusionary, unreasonably, aggressive practices against individuals.

I might try a bit longer.

I expressed my feelings, doubts and thoughts. Open communication.

Let me know what you think.

I do think social media can be insidious, and it can be great, just a question of which one outweighs the other for you I guess, but I do understand your ambivalence. FWIW I've found the posts of yours I've seen interesting and think it would be nice if you hung around, but obviously you should do what suits you. Good luck with it all. : )

Be welcome, be at liberty. I'm glad to "see" you.

You're always welcome here.  If people disagree with you, that doesn't mean that they don't want to converse with you.  Please stay.

Thanks for the replies.

I should not condemn 'warm chatter' only because I had a bad experience, but 'social pain' made me feel and think that way.
