DU Can be Such a Wonderful Place [View all]

I got this PM from another member here on DU. It was so wonderful to have another member show appreciation and take the time to actually send me a PM.

The PM follows. I have blocked out the name of any member that was snippy.

Just wanted to give you props for being so nice when xxxx was kind of snippy--unnecessarily snippy, I thought, given that you hadn't declared yourself an expert and said you were interested in learning more.

Every once in a while, threads on DU seem like a dogfight that starts with a little nip here and another one there and suddenly there are teeth everywhere. So, well done for being gracious and not letting that happen.
