Simply put, it was the most political, nastiest, most hateful working environment that I've ever been in. No violence, just constant catty sniping, 12-14 hours a day. It was like being with 50 people who were all auditioning for the part of "The Rude One" on a reality TV series.
Methinks, perhaps, that LGBTQRST people need to remember that when they point a finger at someone, three more are pointing back at themselves.

And, FWIW, The folks in the office mostly ignored me. Thought that I was a backwoods hick, until I saved them 10s of thousands of dollars by revamping some of their discarded computer equipment. All of a sudden, then, I was "OK, for someone who's not one of us". Approximately.
Your “Liberal Projection” is an incredibly accurate descriptor.
