Yo, bravenak! Where you at, girl???

[Number23]

I know you are checking things out!

What about you 1SBM? Empowerer, where are you?? Liberal_stalwart, where is my girl??

The governor called with the reprieve. Where y'all at???

[Number23]

1. Underthematrix, come on out! All you banned black loudmouths, come on down!!

And our honorary sister Sheshe2, where you at??

[lovemydog]

12. Haha!

Come on out all you trouble makers, roflmao. That was some serious sarcasm rahhhht there.

The nicest fiercest coolest friends and allies one can have!

Keep talking.

Oh no. Help me. I'm about to start singing. Keep smiling...keep talking....that's what friends are.....oh stop me!

[brush]

62. "All you banned black loudmouths" — hilarious!

Sounds like something from "Django Unchained".

Let me add my welcome back to all the modern day Nate Turners, Denmark Vesceys, Harriet Tubmans and Gabriel Prossers.

[Number23]

65. Bravenak Unchained

I love it!!!!

[brush]

66. Yeah, that has a ring to it.

[sheshe2]

98. I am here!

I was just trying to find more images of Beyoncé to post, she must be one bad ass to have gotten me a 7-0 hide.

I missed you all.

[Number23]

109. That was the biggest bunch of bullshit ever. Post pictures of dead children? DU says: awesome!

But posting a picture of Beyonce flipping the bird gets somebody a 7-0 hide.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was that very hide or the deep, profound stupidity of bravenak's "probescito" comment getting hidden that were the two things that made Skinner say



on letting these folks around here decide who can and cannot talk.

[sheshe2]

111. Yup Yuppity Yup.

They may have been the tipping point, I PMed Skinner on mine. Alerter was a no comment. I asked Skinner if alerts were multiple choice now, Choose your reason to hide.

Are you sitting down? Two alerts on me tonight, both leaves. I have two stalkers biting my ass. One followed me from another site. I am being followed closely.

All that said, I am so happy to be back. So good to talk to you #23. Love ya~

[NuclearDem]

2. My God, is it good to be back.

And welcome back to all of my friends who were forced out.

[Number23]

3. Got me sounding like that man at the end of Close Encounters when the people came out of the

spaceship.



"Welcome home, Navy. Welcome home."

[lovemydog]

11. Yay!

NuclearDem.

Welcome back my friend to the show that never ends!

[sheshe2]

99. backatcha!

I feel giddy!

[1StrongBlackMan]

4. Here I is! eom.

[JohnnyLib2]

5. Welcome back!

[Number23]

6. You!!!!

[1StrongBlackMan]

21. But now, I'm posed with a dilemma ...

Do I go back a comment on all the craziness I saw during my hiatus; or, do I just wait (14 seconds) for some fresh craziness?

[MynameisBlarney]

23. I'd say wait.

Plenty of new crazy is on the way!

And welcome back

[leftofcool]

28. Skip the old stuff. More is coming.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. 14 seconds?

2 seconds. Just sit back and watch the assery run its course. It never really ends.

[wildeyed]

33. Fresh.

Remember, it's a marathon of stupid, not a sprint. Gotta pace yourself!

[1StrongBlackMan]

37. LOL ... You mean ...

I can't sprint for 400 meters at the stupid, then sit down and rest for a couple hours ... 27 times?

[wildeyed]

38. No.

Because you have to sleep! I prefer the tactic of sprinting head on at the brick wall of stupid. Usually end up knocking myself out, but everyone needs a hobby

So glad you are back!

[1StrongBlackMan]

43. LOL ... Okay. I'm convinced. LOL. eom

[Number23]

49. ...

[bravenak]

52. Wait for fresh. It always tastes better fresh.

[brush]

68. Bravenak Unchained, welcome back.

[bravenak]

I hope this me being able to speak thing lasts for a while.

Look forward to communicating with ALL our dear friends here!

Sorry if this has been posted upthread or other places. I'm so excited about it that I wanted to spread this message and haven't even read the rest of this thread yet.

[Starry Messenger]

13. <3

I hope folks come back. I could understand not wanting to, after the abuse, but they make this place 1000% smarter when they are here.

[lovemydog]

14. Absolutely and great points there.

I miss them. The scars I feel, while not real scars, still hurt. I'm grateful for you SM and all my AA friends & allies here at DU!

[Starry Messenger]

22. I'm grateful for everyone in this group too.

[lovemydog]

17. Bravenak, I've missed your voice so much.

You're the first person who got me thinking really seriously about the prison abolitionist movement. I'm still all over it, reading more and talking with friends about it. I miss you. I love you. Look forward to saying hi when you're back posting!

[Kind of Blue]

[lovemydog]

75. It was no biggie. We were kinda lonely.

[bravenak]

78. Aww!

We had a big fun thread at the hillary site. I would have made you laugh so hard!

[lovemydog]

79. Oh, I'm gonna check it out.

I love laughing. Plus I'm easily amused. Like this monkey:

[bravenak]

80. Cuuute!!

[William769]

24. Yes, we miss her!

[wryter2000]

25. 1SBM, too?

I had no idea he'd been banished, too. What a sick, sick place this had become. Let's hope that nonsense is over with.

Come back, you guys? It's not the same without you!

[onpatrol98]

108. Sounds like a party!!!

It sounds like a party in here!!!

[Number23]

110. That's cause it is!!!

[JI7]

112. i have been busy but looks like the changes have already improved things a bit

maybe the admin will realize this goes back even further and we have lost many posters of color because of the types that were allowed to run this place.

[cwydro]

113. I just saw she was timed out again, and I don't get that.

I thought they weren't suspending people at this point.

Besides, the last hide was completely bogus and insane. Wtf?

[Number23]

114. ?? Her account says that it's active. How can she be on time out??

[cwydro]

115. I saw the transparency page, but I guess even though it's up,

she's still active.

Just saw her OP in GD.

My mistake; the new admin rules have me confused.

I'm glad I was mistaken.
