My 11,000 post : A Typical Ride on the Roller Coaster that is DU

[saracat]

For me,yesterday was a day that typified the contrary nature of DU and exemplified the very reason I find DU so addictive.

Throughout the day I found myself continuously dumped on an, described variously as a "hater" or "obsessive" personality. I was told I "needed help" and ought to see a shrink.I was told I was an "armchair warrior" and "needed to get out from behind the computer".

And all of these comments came from different factions! Some from crossover factions from posters I agree with on other issues.

None of my positive posts were responded to, but it seems my "passions " demanded a response from everyone.Late that night was a different story.A wonderful Angel Duer renewed my star! And several other Angel Duers stayed up late last night helping me size a picture for an avatar sticky! My mailbox filled with nice comments about some posts! The world had taken a complete reversal.

Such is the way of DU and why I love it so much here.Thank you all for all your warmth ,caring and yes the "passionate responses" to some of my postings! Remember , while we may not always agree in one thread, I may have your back in another! Isn't that what being a DUer and a Democrat is all about?

"While we may not always agree in one thread, I may have your back in another! Isn't that what being a DUer and a Democrat is all about?"

Yes, IMHO, that IS what it's all about.

Note to ALL: Did you know that according to RWers on another website, if a DUer uses the "toast" emoticon in a post, it is irrefutable proof that they are an alcoholic?

Just thought I'd pass that along ... :rofl:

6. Interesting. I'm usually called a racist because of my thoughts on

illegal immigration. Even though my reasons are economic. Oh, and my intellect has been questioned a number of times, generally by people who's sanity I wonder about.

Yep, some days are like that.
