We were allies against this now banned troll who was trying to goad us into hides.

1. I see HughBeaumont on Facebook these days.

Would you like me to send him this link?

3. Please. I'm sure he remembers that. Tell him to come back.

This now banned poster was trying to get us hides by saying we weren't supporting Democrats when we were offering constructive criticism of Democratic leaders. it's odd because I'm reluctant to criticize any Democrat but I have in isolated instances.

2. Geez, I hope they are just taking a break...

Warren has been around a very long time, several stints on MIRT.

I especially hate to lose "long term" members

6. DU is like the Hotel California...you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

Just because you aren't posting doesn't mean you are gone because I am sure there dead DUers still listed as active members and you can't get more gone than that.
Now I am a DU member even though I don't consider myself a DUer, I just post here even though I've been a "member" for years. So after my next post, hitting 19,000, I will take a time-out until the midterms are over since the echo chamber is reeling in my ears.
It will be interesting to come back after the midterms when it will either be strutting and celebrating here or wailing and gnashing of teeth punctuated by finger pointing and conspiracies.
As an atheist I don't believe in an afterlife once I'm dead or a pre-life before I was born, but I know I will never be dead here at DU as long as I can pad the membership list.
To paraphrase Garrison Keillor, the Democratic Underground-where all the members consider themselves smart, good looking, and above average. And I resemble that remark.
