Over the past two years, civility and thoughtful discourse has vanished from this site, replaced with demands for ideological conformity that are straight out of Stalinist Russia or China's Great Cultural Revolution, and unrelenting uncivility if said conformance is not forthcoming.

Too many of you people don't think like me.
Too many of you aren't rational like me.
You don't grasp issues like me.
You people aren't kind, decent, considerate and respectful like me.
Some of you are just plain nutty religious extremists, unlike me.
I can't stomach being in a place that tolerates too many people who don't think or behave like me.
And because I'm such a levelheaded, rational, intelligent and informed person, I'm going to leave this place.

But instead of simply choosing to no longer visit this site or post on this site, I must first draw as much attention to myself and My Cause as is possible.

Of course, I'll do it under the guise of genuine concern about thoughtful public discourse or the "Conservative Movement," "True Federalism", or Republicanism or something equally important and principled sounding, but the reality is that I simply can't handle the public rejection of my views, or the often ugly remarks, rhetorical slings and arrows of others, and even personal attacks which are so often a painful by-product of a place where self-expression and political debate is encouraged.

Signed,
Self-Absorbed Attention-Seeking Drama Queen

Bumpus ad sumum! Nobody expects the inquisition, especially a grand poobah!

Considering your post, that sounds like it would be a good choice for your tag line.
