You put yourself out there it's easy for people to snipe at you. You get sniped enough you get toxic. Hell, remember Bristoe and his way beyond funny brand of writing? The guy could have had his own tv show. Even he's pretty melancholy these days.
I'm actually not melancholy at all. It's just that I've reached a place where I've done a lot of things I did until I'm done with 'em. I never want to touch a milling machine or a lathe again. I don't recall the last time I put together a round of ammo.
As for interactive internet,..I still read along a bit. But it's turned into Groundhog Day for me. (This thread is a good example)
Retirement and moving out here in the sticks probably has a lot to do with it all.
