I have learned not to take the bait here on DU (because they will try you every chance they get not all but some).

I stayed out of that thread for a reason.

But I do want to say thank you for all the hard work I have seen you do on behalf of the LGBT community.

I've gone nearly 1250 days without a hidden post, and it was a dumb joke about Chris Christie. I figure if I get hidden, it ought to be for something I'm right about. Perhaps another time.

In that case, I should look at the bright side and appreciate the juries that didn't hide my posts.

Amazing that was hidden, but ""As God is my witness, I'll never go unPACed again!"" was left 7-0! I, for one, greatly appreciate your comments and taking people to task, especially the one you did! Dr. King said it best...



Thank you for doing what was right!

Recently it has become a means for a few to hunt the many for no good reason. I just don't sign in so that I am not tempted to take their bait. I am so sorry that you have been a victim.
