To the lurkers...welcome

[cally]

A few former lurkers have begun posting here this week. I suspect others have looked at this group this week searching for refuge from GD and LBN. Here's a welcome thread for fellow feminists. :hi:

1. Thanks!

:grouphug:

2. Hi

I can't recall if I've ever posted here before this week or not, but I'll accept a welcome anyway. Thanks!

3. I'd like to extend a warm welcome also

Tough week to be a woman, huh? I think we're all going to need a big group hug after this one. Hopefully all you FG noobs will find some respite here.

4. I need that hug.

I finally broke down and hid the rape threads. 1st time in four years. :grouphug:

[lukasahero]

6. You are not alone.

I haven't hidden them but I don't think I can continue the fight any more. We'll see, I've said that before.

Welcome to the group! :hi: and another :hug: for good measure.

5. I've been really busy for the past few days and I think that I've missed

quite a dustup in GD and elsewhere. Part of me thinks that I want to know what the hell is going on and then another part of me isn't so sure. :hi:

7. You really don't.

I think (hope) it may be coming to an end - too many people too disgusted to continue - so you might do well to stay away at this point. Hang out here, or go enjoy the pets forum for a while - it's so much better for the blood pressure. :)

8. If you can ignore GD it's probably for the best.

There are people arguing some truly freightening and sickening things over there with absolute certainty.

9. Yes, I'll second that welcome!

It's nice to see a few new "faces" around the Feminists forum, and to welcome the "refugees" from the craziness infesting GD and LBN.

It really is a minority of posters that raise my blood pressure, but dammit, some of them are ubiquitous! They're in EVERY thread on the Duke case, like clockwork. Ugh.
