OS

[peacebird]

1. No no no! We need you! And I love you OS. You are one of the good eggs

Don't let those people get to you. They swarm attack, i know. But don't let them get to you. I think it is a sign they are getting worried that their coronation isn't gonna be a cakewalk.

[catrose]

2. Love you always, Omaha Steve, no matter where eom

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

3. If you leave then the trolls just get stronger.

[Maedhros]

20. Those 'trolls' are now the mainstream Democratic rank-and-file.

They can't be reached - they're in it for the personality cult.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

35. Yep. I was punted from a group for that I believe.

If the trolls want to turn DU inti another personality cult it won't help them win elections, but it will help to Jim Rob DU.

Keep up the fight!

[elleng]

4. NOPE!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Please don't leave, my dear Omaha Steve...

Take a break, do something else, and then come back.

Don't let the bastards get you down.

We must stick together!

[n2doc]

6. Are you that easily dissuaded?

You seem made of stronger stuff!

[virtualobserver]

7. just think of what a difficult quest that Bernie has undertaken

and it will only get worse.

He will be ridiculed, and outspent and targeted with unfair ads

He will endure ridiculous questions.

As unpleasant as it can be here at times.

Think of the unpleasantness as a reverse indicator of how well Bernie is doing.

If the Hillary supporters get crazier and crazier, you'll how close we are to victory.

[Hiraeth]

34. omg ... love your sigline ... lol

[edgineered]

8. DU for Bernie on ActBlue would not have had 200+ contributors and

more than $5,700 had you not been pushing buttons here. I say keep pushing!

[femmocrat]

9. C'mon Steve. . .

That forum can be rough and tumble .... that is why it's off by itself and out of GD! Enter it at your own risk!

Stay out here where your pals are!

[think]

12. +1

I trashed both GD & GD primary.

Ya, I still peak in on those forums and post a little but overall my blood pressure is way down. It takes extra time to look in and usually it just reminds me why I trashed them.

Not having it in my latest posts has really been therapeutic and made DU enjoyable again.

Time is too short to spend it engaging antagonists that have no solutions and offer only contrived controversy.

JMO....

[femmocrat]

13. I agree with you, think.

I haven't blocked it, but I just don't go there. I was very glad that it took some of the bickering and nastiness out of GD, which is still mostly readable.

[retrowire]

21. THIS

[villager]

10. The rightwingers here who've appropriated the term "Underground" will win again, if you go

...OS.

[GoneFishin]

11. Take a breather if needed. But don't leave.

[BrotherIvan]

14. I'm sorry this has made you feel bad

It shouldn't be that way. You contribute so much and I deeply respect your fundraising and activism for labour. I hope you don't go because of attacks. Anyone who cares about animals and people as much as you do has nothing to be attacked for. Let them punch at me instead. Seriously, I'll be your backup.

[Snotcicles]

15. Sit down man, you're one of the few I like around here. nt

[appal_jack]

16. Stick around, OS! The fun is just beginning... nt

[abelenkpe]

17. Ack! No please no

Love your posts. Totally understand your frustration. Please stay

[Warpy]

18. Doesn't have to be. It was locked because it belonged in GD-P

GD is being reserved for topics other than who is running in the primaries and topics about them that don't fit into their own protected groups.

It's too soon for a goodbye. You're still making sense.

We'll let you know when you stop, if you ever do.

[Polly Hennessey]

19. No, no, no

Please don't leave. I look forward to your posts. Don't really know what the problem is but think it has something to do with Hillary fans. I love Hillary and Bernie and I will vote for whomever is nominated. Bottom line I am a Democrat. Please stay. Why do the "uglies" always win -- stay for us, we need you.

[LiberalEsto]

22. Steve, we need you here!

Please stay!

[Faryn Balyncd]

23. No! Without you, we would have never seen your photos of the birds eating your grape jelly,

... or the goats jumping from stump to stump, and your insightful political posts. Your posts are very often among those shared with the whole family.

You are a treasure.

We rejoiced when you found out you did not have ALS.

We look for your posts every day.

Please don't go.

We loved these (from your above link):

[snagglepuss]

24. Heavens to Murgatryd. Whoa. Hold Your Horses. I say hold your horses.

Only Snagglepuss exits stage left. Stay even.


What you need is break. Its stress. Everyone backing a particular candidate believes that their canidate is the only one. Of course we here all know Bernie is the One but it is still stressful others who have deep feelings for their own choice. Not easy.


Take your shoes off. Ya all come back new. Hear?

[KoKo]

25. Please...no "Goodbyes" ....

We are going through a Rough Patch Collectively. As long as you feel able..please keep posting. Or, take a break as your health condition dictates.

It gets overwhelming here at this time. So much bad angst ....! Just ignore.

BUT...Don't Leave!...just Refresh/Recharge and then come back when you are comfortable! Every Voice is Needed in These Times. But, a break from "The Crazy" is important when it's overwhelming these days.

[Duckhunter935]

26. I hope not

Take a break. I just about did the same a couple of months ago. Wish you the best whatever you decide. You are one of the great ones and will be sorely missed 😔

[rosesaylavee]

27. I hope you reconsider OS

Take some time off of here. Get some fresh air, hug your family.... and then come back fresh. Your voice is needed here.

[SmittynMo]

28. Dude, blow it off.

It's not worth arguing over with others. Blow it off and stay where you belong.

[TM99]

29. Trash the groups, put the asshats on Ignore,

and just hang out in here.

It is getting to a lot of fine folks all of the bullshit that a very small but loud group of HRC supporters are perpetrating on a daily basis.

I love a good tumble so it rarely phases me.

If it is getting to you, take a break, but please don't leave. You are one of the strongest voices for labor support on these forums. We need you.

[williesgirl]

30. Please stay, Steve. You help so many of us stay sane and

Cut thru the bullshit. You make sense, support labor, and stand up for animals and fair play. I couldn't respect anyone more.

[sadoldgirl]

31. I just listened to Bernie again, and therefore

I tell you that you are needed. Yes, sometimes I think
that the PTB want to divide us in our own party. Do not cave
in. We will stand with you and refuse these kind of
hurtful even hateful tactics, which are really a sign of
fear. If the people stand together from now on with
Bernie and his aims, we can WIN!Please, tell yourself
that you are a member of a strong army, no matter
what!

[glinda]

32. In these strange times I would help finding some of our members on FB.

There are some people that I have come to care for and would like help keeping in touch with them if possible. PM me is anyone can help with this.
If you do not come back Omaha Steve I will be trying to find you.....please do not go.....please.....

[Cheese Sandwich]

33. I love your Labor History in 2:00 posts

Over in Socialist Progressives... very educational thanks

You help make this site awesome!

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

36. If you must leave for a while please take this with you...

Until we win the war we must win every battle.
