Repost from GD: RILTRu Awards coming soon(?)

On DU2, I took over the DUzy awards for a short time before life intervened and I had to take a hiatus from DU. Hosting the DUzy's was fun, but what I like even better than humor is essential truth. (Of course, humor is often good for pointing out truth - but what I saw a lot of times in the DUzy's were just people angling for an award for the sake of attention.)

So, I'd like to propose a new weekly item here on DU: The RILTRu award. It stands for:

"Reply I'd Like To Recommend" and it's pronounced "Real True".

To recommend a reply in a thread, either PM me with the link, or reply to the post with with "RILTR" as in, "That's a RILTR!" Or RILTRu if you prefer. I'll do a site search on the term.

To get the ball rolling, here's my first "RILTR":

In the thread "Dolan took a swipe at the LGBT community and marriage equality in his prayer at the DNC." by Zorra,

About Flying Squirrel

I did not vote for Hillary Clinton in Washington State in the 2016 election, and I do not regret this. I am therefore "Unwelcome" on DU. But the admin doesn't have the balls to PPR me, they'd rather just let their automated system "flag me" and then lie about giving me due process by reviewing my account "within 24 hours." Skinner is a coward and a fucking idiot. So are most of the rest of you. The Democratic Party is fucked, thanks in large part to people like you. History will not look kindly upon Hillary Clinton and those who supported and enabled her, and who made President Trump possible.
