Not a flounce.

What argymargy
And, as Oreo says
You can always return in the future.
Enjoy your break, however long.

It's a shame you feel you need to leave.

Occasionally I feel that way, but I've just accepted that no one is probably listening to me half the time anyway, (even though I do have a few interesting and knowledgeable things to say!)

It's pointless getting frustrated or annoyed when you can't convince someone. It's a waste of energy, so best to remove yourself.

I hope you feel better soon.

By the way, there used to be a poster, a few years ago, who often used the head against a brick wall moving emoji. It didn't get her anywhere at all, and she left never to return. She didn't ever appear happy, and that's sad.

Hopefully you will find your happy place

I hope your low mood improves.

You will be welcomed back by me at any time.

lafergar I do understand how you feel.

Sometimes it feels like banging your head against a brick wall, which is very bad for your own well being.

Take care; take a breather; hope to see you here again.

Good for you - have often felt the same - unfortunately contributors {hiding behind pseudonyms of course} become more and more acerbic and bitchy with each passing day.

Seen many a flounce on mumsnet over the years - although haven’t seen one for literally years as it’s so big no one would notice if you left.
I think people have to remember that posting on social media ( and in particular discussing politics ) is not compulsory, millions of people can’t be bothered.

If it’s annoying you switch off and forget about it.

Sorry to see you go. I hope you feel better soon.

So sorry to hear this, but I totally understand, and have felt this way many times before. argymargy, perhaps this is not about 'different points of view'- which I am sure lafergar can deal with very well. Often it goes far beyond that. The world is currently in such a mess, and accepting that some actually seem to applaud genocide, is just not something that one can accept.

Wish you the very best lafergar, take care.

What argymargysays.
You can always return in the future.

Sorry you're feeling down. I doubt whether anyone is actively trying to make things worse for you but perhaps you're not in the best place to accept different points of view. Good luck.
