Hmm, looks like I'm not the only one who reached a breaking point with both the community 'polyamory' and 'dot_poly_snark'. I realized I totally didn't care. I mean, it's not like I won't take the time to listen or help my friends with their issues, poly, or otherwise. Heck, often if I've got the bandwidth, I'll offer to help strangers or people I'm only aquainted with on a surface level when it's clear they are in distress. But the polyamory community grated on me for some reason. Drama happens, it's often good nor bad, and it's part of human interaction. But, I like to be able to choose what I will and will not concern or involve myself with. I don't need a whole community of stuff to read about random folks drama. I also don't need a community that's sole purpose is to mock people who I don't care to concern myself with in the first place. Again, it's not that I never snark, or have something against people who really like snarking at the random folks who's stuff I don't want to clutter my brain with. It's more that I'd rather spend my time reading about stuff I have more investment in, interest in, or might find informational in some way.
