In reply to the discussion: One of DU'er "RainDog's"last posts to DU. She has passed on.... [View all]enigmatic
(15,021 posts)21. Her posts here were one of the few things that I looked for when I would come back to lurk
after sometimes years-worth of absences, since I pretty much checked out of here in 2008 or so as a regular poster.
She was a tireless advocate of decriminalization of marijuana and stood up to the bullies that hounded her both on that topic and others that were hot button issues here and I admired the hell out of her for doing that, despite the attacks she got in return.
She was a wonderful human being and this board (as the wordld itself) is much, much poorer for her not being here anymore.

WTF? She was probably one of the best, smartest posters around here. I didn't know her well
