No, I didn't hang around simply to fret about Trump. I liked the quality of the posts, and thoughtfulness of the posters, in the general category of the forum. Once involved, I stayed involved. Not entirely Trump threads, but, yes, mostly. And it's not like I am not a fan of the Jazz. But I live in RI. I had the opportunity to attend two Jazz games in Boston, last season, and the season before, and I did so, thanks to a friend with season Celtic's seats. And I very seldom have posted in game threads, etc., because, frankly, I am no where near as versed in understanding the professional game as most other fans here clearly are.
I would not say my sticking around was irrational. But it certainly was something I never anticipated happening. That this should turn out to be my principle site for voicing political commentary is unusual, and I never planned any such thing. I'm highly opinionated, though, so I jumped in. Before I knew it, it had become one of my go-to forums. But it's not irrational, it just happened. Admittedly, I think I will always feel like more of an outsider here. I do feel that, and acutely at times. But, I enjoy many of the posters, so my involvement continued.
Lol, once again last night, my wife said "who the hell are you writing to all the time?" I feel for her, she lives with me, lol...
