Thanks for explaining. I got an e-dressing down for calling it quits is what happened. I participate in other feminist spaces and when I shared my experience with someone I trust, and related that people had said they needed my voice and that it made me feel guilty for leaving, I was not-so-gently reminded of a time last year when I was pushing others to resist giving up. So basically I was guilted into it, I suppose. I don't mind though, it was good to be reminded why I had my old sig for so long.
