In answer to your question I have to say definately not woke, virtue signally or social justice warriors.
I want honest conversations and made that particular statement in my introduction so as to get to the heart of the matter as it were.
It's not that I want to endlessly discuss our situation but it seems better to get right out in the open where one stands or it would be excrutiating on both sides to go through the social pleasantries and know one is holding down one's true beliefs. There is no time for that now methinks.
I'm glad my directness was appreciated.
I do know of a forum and if you look around the site it will better illustrate where I'm coming from and it may or may not change your mind about interaction - all fine whichever.
It's here - https://www.ukcolumn.org/community/forums/
I am a member there and there is private messaging. I don't post much but have been a member for some time. You don't have to pay to register on the forum but I don't know if that is what you had in mind.
I would be happy to provide email but don't think there is anywhere here to exchange that without it displaying everywhere.
It has taken me an age to find my way back to this thread but very nice to hear from you.
Quite enjoying finding walks/bike rides on my doorsteps during Lockdown; we are lucky in Bristol with it's green spaces and interesting architecture. Looking forward to going further afield though.
