"Leaving" Vox

Hi, friends and neighbors. I am going to "leave" Vox in that I'm going to not post anything anymore, but I'm keeping the account to be able to comment.

I had fun in the beginning, but the community has become as polarized as the rest of the nation: good vs. bad. Trouble is, everyone thinks he or she is good and everyone who disagrees with him or her is bad.

I am a Christian, patriotic, and somewhat conservative. But that doesn't mean I think the rest of you are bound for Hell, America hating, or Socialist. I have some liberal views, and I have some conservative views; that makes me a moderate. But there doesn't appear to be any moderate discussion here. I have become increasingly frustrated and sometimes offended by remarks made against former President Bush, current President Obama, and recent Presidential candidate John McCain. I think some of the posts about McCain were especially worrisome to me, because both liberals and conservatives alike thought him too extreme. Odd.

I think perhaps my frustration with the idiocy reached its peak after reading a post comparing McCain's treatment at the hands of his torturers in Hanoi to the treatment he would receive at the hands of Obama during a Presidential debate.

If you post often enough, you pick up neighbors. I know this because, when I post, I get comments from people I don't know, and I get an e-mail that says they have added me to their neighborhood. It appears that some of you are collecting neighbors like Pepsi points. Seriously, do you win a prize at some point?

I just may not be Vox material. Although I'm not wearing a virtual trenchcoat and sunglasses, I don't post my picture or my family's names, or even my dog's name, and I don't use my full name. I don't post on my life, and I don't have a topic worth building a blog around it. So it leaves little to post about except sports (not a lot of you sports fans here) and politics (and I just mentioned the problem with that).

Plus, I'm not good about posting on a regular basis.

So.

Good luck with all your lives and loves. God bless you all.

See the rest of you in the Comments.
