[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been active here for about a month.  Lots of fascinating topics.

Wondering stuff like:

1 What field are you in?  Seems to be a lot of attorneys 
2 Where did you grow up?
3 At what age did you move to the DMV and why? 
4 Did you or are you planning to retire here? 
5 Does the tone on here bother you? [/quote]

1. Psychotherapist, Consultant
2. DC
3. I was born here. My parents were born here. My grandparents moved to DC as young adults. 
4. That’s the plan. 
5. Yes. I don’t mind, and even enjoy a bit of snark. The gratuitous, mean-girl middle school nastiness gets to be a bit much.  
     The casual racism is disgusting.  The false innocent-seeming questions that consistently parrot Tucker Carlson’s talking points are
      noxious.  
      I idealistically had thought that this type of forum could provide space for different types of people to have different types of 
      discussions, including topics that are often difficult to discuss in real life.  That does happen quite often, but, for me, the positives
      frequently get overshadowed by nastiness, and I take a DCUM break.  I keep reminding myself that the healthiest way that I 
      can use DCUM is as a resource — rather than as a community.

Resource versus community. That is smart. I’m keeping that in mind!
