So in a sense, you're saying that fandom is, by necessity, nomadic. Once we settle somewhere and "integrate," we might be content enough but our culture is lost. It's an imperfect analogy, but is that close?
I understand that. I'm also struggling, now, because I've only just learned about the new issues and, as others have said lots of us feel, none of them affect me. Which I'm not presenting as a reason to stay, just a consideration. My LJ is so inconsistent content-wise, and I'm so attached to people here, that whatever I decide will make things difficult.
On the other hand, I *don't* have a big reputation, or an active fandom life. So maybe it's not such a big deal for me to leave. Wait, that sounded like I'm saying that means I don't have to. I mean the opposite--What I'm giving up, I could retain through email, etc.
