Although I don't necessarily agree that it's a good reason for leaving, I can see where you're coming from. Minority positions do tend to get shouted down here, and not always in a rational and measured way. Sometimes, we can be overly cynical and/or rude. Me included. So I wish you well, although I think it's a shame that such a prominent and articulate member of the community should leave.
Farewell.
Farewell.
