I am an older white woman, a retired teacher.

175. Others still see it when the thread is trashed or ignored.

I haven't used the options in years. I usually take it with a grain of salt or consider the source. But there was too much going on last night, actual lies about the elderly.

She did apologize at one point for upsetting me, and I said thank you. But others had jumped in by then and it kept on.

I quit posting here for a year rather than confront anyone. I got notes in emails telling me that the admins had decided that because of my stances on issues I would never see front page again. True or not, the word was out.

I established myself at Dailykos as floridagal, and madfloridian at Twitter. I left here a year.

I came back. Almost ready to give it up here, but the education battle is too important. My posts get ignored but they often get lots of tweets which means they do get read.

Twice lately I have taken part in things I usually ignore. Am I sensitive, yes. I am actually proud that I am, there is nothing wrong with that in this age of tough.
