Uwe,
T! No need to keep up with the topics that give you a headache. I don't think we can accurately judge one another from our short time on an online forum. There are personalities behind these screens we are scarcely aware of. I shouldn't speak for Steve but I believe he is making real efforts to transform himself and practice kindness and his spiritual beliefs. I have been with this forum since 2010. And even then, I don't actually know Steve. If I were to meet him, perhaps our exchange would be different. As it is with any person we meet in real life. But I believe I know him well enough to know he means well.
I don't think you know what either of us go through on a daily, what we practice, what we do or do not do. Or even, how we engage with others. I don't feel the need to advertise it as a declaration of spirituality. But I do try to share things that interest me. Meditation, dreams, OBE's, animals. And yes, I post about world events. I do not ask you to agree with everything I post, and I respect your decision not to participate.
My friend. All is well here.

And I wish you the best with your journey as well. Your contributions are lovely and your expression is welcomed. I agree with your sentiments, and based on my recent exchange I think Steve does too. It is about working on the Self. I believe we're all doing that here, even if we have different world views and attitudes. Feel free to chime in on topics that actually interest you, or participate however you see fit. When you do decide to grace us again, you will be welcomed and you will have the freedom to be your self.
Sincere regards ~
