Three points:
1) While I appreciate what you've contributed to LW, and think the place would be a little less rich in your absence, I wouldn't want you feeling pressured into hanging around somewhere that distresses you. Please don't think points 2 or 3 are in any way antagonistically motivated along these lines.
2) No-one is forcing you to stay here, and no-one will stop you coming back if you subsequently change your mind. Leaving doesn't have to be a dramatic event or a permanent decision. If LW is distressing you, take a break. If that break makes you a happier person, keep taking it.
3) I am genuinely mystified about how the karma accrued by an anonymous participant on a web forum, pretending to be a nonhuman agent with alien objectives, can be deemed a measure of privilege. If you could elaborate on that, I'd appreciate it.
This! People who say "Gonna take a break now, see you round" or just silently leave, then come back, tend to make awesome contributions. People who ragequit, then come back, tend to be pests. Obviously there isn't a straightforward causal link, but still - just say no to drama, kids.
