3. The infamous Douche Bag thread is the only thing to ever make me cry.
It being locked was truly the end of one of DU's finer moments. :cry:

6. I almost cried today
.....after being gone from DU for almost 2 years and coming back just last week, I logged on today to find someone had given me a heart. Hell, I doubt anyone even remembers me here, but someone gave me a heart anyway.

That's good people right there :)

7. No. I almost wept when Molly Ivins, Gerald Ford, and Anna Nicole Smith...
were deficated on while still warm by mouth-breathers on GD.
That's my vision of 'generosity' on DU.

...but when I first got onto the R/T forum, someone took me under her wing, gave me a star, and helped me out quite a bit.
Some people here are quite amazing.
Sadly, it's only some.

9. Yeah, it has.
When Andy was sick, and then when he died.

Tough times, but most of DU really pulled it together and did what they could for him, and then mourned when that's what was left to do.

Hell, yeah, I cried.

11. OOOOOOOOOH yes.
Thanks to DU; I had heat when I sorely needed it. Blessed people here. Also; wonderful support.
I have also been able to help a few, albeit indirectly. I love that!

12. The Andy donations had me drippy eyed
several times.

and I'm not a big crier (just every so often I get a lil something in my eye... ahem).

18. That was a big moment for me too.
Each and every time John Hopkins would raise the bar and DU'ers would meet the challenge was one of the most humane and generous acts of kindness I had ever been a witness to.

Such a very sad time for all.
