In reply to the discussion: A question about the New DU [View all]deutsey
(20,166 posts)So through all the ups and downs here since I joined in spring 2001, I've remained a regular visitor. Sometimes I posted a lot, sometimes I lurked, but I've always checked in because I felt like I found a virtual place where I fit in and that let me know I wasn't so alone during the Bush nightmare.
Honestly, since '08 (and especially since DU3), I haven't felt like I fit in here as much and, although I still post, there have been numerous times that I've refrained from responding to something or posting my own OP because of that.
Which is cool with me. As I said, I still find tons of great info here and that in itself will keep me coming back. And there are many participants who post thoughtful and often hilarious things that I enjoy reading. However, I do more and more feel like an outsider than I used to.
But, as a wise philosopher once put it, "Oh, yeah, life goes on...long after the thrill of living is gone."
