Though I still come here, it's mostly to lurk and fairly infrequent. There's a few reasons; lack of time is the biggest, followed by lack of confidence in my writing and opinions.
Like LetterRip, I've enjoyed some minor contributions to Quora, though I feel mostly embarrassed about them. Sometimes I log into Facebook and try to respond to messages, though I rarely post anything substantial. Many of my friends and family come from extremely different political and social backgrounds, and I prefer to avoid the social maelstrom should they collide.
The main reasons I return here are that I think Ornery set, and still sets, a high bar for political discussion, and I very much miss many of the regular contributors from when I was active. It's genuinely nice to see some of you still here, even if it's mostly to say you don't post much.
