Leaving. Not Leaving. Whatever.

75. lol

I think I've been here since 2004. I was mostly in the background reading and watching, hardly ever posting. There certainly was a community but really I didn't feel part of it. While newcomers were welcomed it was just like real life when you entered like a stepchild and never felt you were part of the real "family."

But throughout the last ten years, there were always the pro and anti Clintonians. I learned what DLC meant on DU. There were arguments and confrontations and accusations and even dishonor. Remember all the uproar with Bev (I think) and the black box voting thing. It was like holy soap opera time lol.

I really love when DUers take the time to post about their own lives and experiences. I love the laughs. I love sharing the outrage (even when I don't post to it). I love the caring and the sharing, the helping out those in dire need. I also loved seeing so many creative, talented DU'ers move ahead, like NanceGregg, and Brad Blog and Will Pitt. I know there are more but this brain is old and memory does fail me at times.

I would never dream of not visiting here every day. I really can't understand those who choose to leave this respite created for us.

Through good and bad you all truly are my sunshine.
