Feeling a lot of love for DUers |
|
I joined DU, once again, hesitantly. It was the mods' actions that convinced me to stick around. They were impressive.
I may be known to some for my LOL's. But I appreciate humor--as do the admins--and I do not apologize for recognizing fellow members whose humor and cleverness impresses me. I certainly will not apologize for welcoming a respite from all we are facing today.
And, strikingly, whenever someone posts about a personal tragedy, DUers jump in with their sympathies and condolences. DU is, mostly, an empathetic place.
First and foremost, it's a place for news and discussion, which is valuable in itself.
So I celebrate all my fellow members who contribute so much here. And, as much as I hate to suck up to ANYBODY, I have to hand it to the admins who founded this thing called, "DU". And to the mods who work so hard to keep us honest.

9. C'mon, it's the teabaggers who are spelling-challenged |
|
We KNOW you can spell--you're a F'n commie/fascist/"socilist" Lib'rul. Our saving grace is, apparently, good spelling. :)
And thanks for the thumbsup to the mods--though the "lol" may leave them wondering....
Yes, I'm a spelling Nazi. Who wants to make something of it, and destroy the premise of my post?

I don't know you, but I hate to see anyone who has good LOLs leave. We sure could use a few right now. Looking forward to your posts.

5. Well, no one can know EVERYONE here |
|
But I've encountered quite a few in the threads. And, while there are always exceptions, I've found them to be quite a special bunch of people.
Looking forward to seeing you on the threads--you sound like the kind of people I'm applauding.
Love & Peace, pinboy3niner

6. Glad you're sticking around! |
|
I too, stayed because of the kindness of a mod after someone was repeatedly nasty to me in the beginning. They are awesome and so are the large majority of DUers!

11. Thanks--when you're a newbie, support from the mods means a lot... |
|
...doesn't it?
As a newbie, someone attacked me for being so new and PRESUMING to know about DUers. The mods not only locked the OP, on which I had alerted, they deleted the offending post (which I did not alert on). The offender was someone who is known and respected here. And I've seen him post good stuff. So I don't hold a grudge--I've never unrec'd him, and I've rec'd his good posts. I don't know how he views me, but it's bygones as far as I'm concerned.
I think we all appreciate the work ther mods do. But when you're a newbie, and the mods stand up for you, that means a helluva lot.

12. Sticking around? I'd like to see someone try to oust me |
|
LOL! Good to find someone else who found the mods had his back when he was a newbie.
I'm glad you stayed, too, onestepforward. Every place has SOME faults, but, overall, this is a pretty goddamn good place to be.

13. I was expecting to find a few cynics to stomp all over me |
|
Where are you? I KNOW there are some who would call me a Pollyanna, who are not so happy with the mods/admins, who would take issue with my saccharine appraisal. I've run into a few on the threads who might REALLY lay into me here.
In the absence of ANY differing viewpoints, I guess I should just count my blessings....
