Apology to Bravenak [View all]

[shaayecanaan]

I realise that this is a bit late. I also realise that it should probably take the form of a PM, but that seems a bit presumptuous as I don't know her very well. I'm not sure if PMs work either if someone is blocked? Anyway.

I liked Bravenak's posts and was quite disappointed that she got blocked. I remember that she sometimes posted in response to I/P events, and that she once responded positively to a post I made about victims of American foreign policy in Vietnam and the middle east (I think she was the only person to do so).

I liked the fact that she gave a shit across the board, seemed quite a caring person and wasn't just a one-string guitar as can often be the case on DU.

I remember arguing the toss with her in a few threads that pertained to racism and feel quite bad about it now. I was probably being deliberately contrarian with her just to shoot the shit and looking back at it now it all seems quite mean-spirited on my part.

I also accept that a lot of people were complete arseholes to her, including some Sanders supporters both on DU and on twitter, and that that was pretty cringeworthy at times.

Anyway, I hope she's keeping on. Que sera sera.
