All of you on MIRT deserve a standing round of applause (digital version)

I can tell the trolls are feasting on the Chelsea Manning situation.

Hats off to you ! Huzzah ! Good health and long live your barnyard animals and crops too.

I did a term on MIRT (not right now, though) and I can tell you, it's tough. It takes judgment and speed...

If you've never done it, I sure recommend it.

I will do it again, when my life is less complicated.

It's great to give back!

It's really easy to be nasty on the internet, and you avoid that very well.

I try to, also. A human sits across the ether, not a machine. You probably agree with that attitude.

But I seem able to remember it.

I don't like fights. I know how words can hurt...

I always say, I'm just trying to live up to my sigline.

Your attitude is spot on!

This is my first time doing MIRT and some of it is wicked shocking. The sheer number of trolls is disturbing enough but when you add in the ones that join over and over and over... And have been doing so for ages... Some of them are beyond disturbed. I wish I had done MIRT earlier, everyone should do a term and see what goes on.
