Thank you MIR Team volunteers for helping keep DU readable

[uppityperson]

and troll free.

This post is not due to any particular troll, but in anticipation of the Ferguson grand jury report and possible influx of MIs.

To all who volunteer your time and energies, thank you.

1. Seconded

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Thirded!

[TBF]

3. Absolutely -

most members of MIRT are sincere and work very hard. I don't envy those who have had to deal with the midterms and now Ferguson.

4. Thanks!

I'm ready.

5. Agreed!!!

I was originally sad when my MIRT time ran out, but with the Ferguson report coming out, I'm kinds glad I don't have to read the crap that trolls will post here.

MIRT ROCKS!!!

10. Yup. I was on when Sandyhook happened and it was pretty awful.

[arcane1]

11. I can't imagine how that was like.

I still have a shred of faith in humanity. Serving on MIRT during Sandy Hook may have cost me that shred

13. I took breaks during the first couple days, as did others.

It was hard to process murdering that many little kids while dealing with the assholes who came to tell us more people are killed by hammers than guns. Breaks were needed as it was heartbreaking and difficult to maintain any sort of professionalism in the ban messages.

19. Yes, that was a disturbing look at the depths some people sink to.

Serving on MIRT during that horrific event was very unsettling. I suspect we'll see something similar with the Ferguson GC decision regardless of the direction it takes.

Thanks for the props uppityperson.

32. Shall we let a few slip through for you?

[bearssoapbox]

9. For all that they do to help keep this place sane.

12. K&R! Kudos to MIRT for all your hard work!

I've served and know that it's a 24 hour a day job, especially during times of big news, like we're expecting today. Thank you for keeping DU a safe place for all of us. Keep up the great work, my friends!

[meow2u3]

14. You're very welcome

IDK about you, but I'm so tired of trolls trying to keep me from enjoying DU that I decided to do my part to keep them out.

[uppityperson]

16. Thanks for mirting, it is something, an eye opening experience and a really good thing

to do. I loved working together with others on the team, a very good DU experience.

[hrmjustin]

15. Thanks guys for your time and talent.

My best to you all when they announce the decision today.

[LeftishBrit]

17. Thanks from a current MIRTer - very kind of you to say that!

[marble falls]

18. I think everyone should be encouraged to serve. Its been more eye openning than anything....

90% of us will not know about the truly nasty stuff MIRT and the juries take down because the system works that well. I am happy I've MIRTed and I encourage everyone who can, to do it at least once.

[Kali]

20. and to those who continue to watch as well

[octoberlib]

23. Bravo, MIRT!

29. Fastest pizza delivery anywhere!

[uppityperson]

30. Now that it is morning here, I wanted to say thank you again. I am sure it has been quite

busy, and thank you for taking out the trash.

[dballance]

31. I served on MIRT for a couple of sessions. It does broaden one's opinions.

And it does take a lot of effort some times.

I'll do it again though.
